Java Program to check for equality between two strings ignoring the case

Use equalsIgnoreCase() in Java to check for equality between two strings ignoring the case.

Let’s say the following are our two strings.

String one = "rocky";
String two = "Rocky";

Both are equal, but the case is different. Since the method ignore case, both of these strings would be considered equal.

Here, we are checking the same.

if(one.equalsIgnoreCase(two)) {
    System.out.println("String one is equal to two (ignoring the case) i.e. one==two");
}else{
    System.out.println("String one is not equal to String two (ignoring the case) i.e. one!=two");
}

The following is the complete example.

Example

 Live Demo

public class Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       String one = "rocky";
       String two = "Rocky";
       if(one.equalsIgnoreCase(two)) {
          System.out.println("String one is equal to two (ignoring the case) i.e. one==two");
       }else{
          System.out.println("String one is not equal to String two (ignoring the case) i.e. one!=two");
       }
    }
}

Output

String one is equal to two (ignoring the case) i.e. one==two
