是的，==不利于比较字符串(实际上是任何对象，除非您知道它们是规范的)。==只是比较对象引用。.equals()测试是否相等。对于字符串，它们通常是相同的，但正如你所发现的，这并不总是保证的。

所有对象都保证有一个.equals()方法，因为Object包含一个返回布尔值的方法。equals()。如果需要进一步的定义，子类的工作就是重写这个方法。如果没有它(即使用==)，则只检查两个对象之间的内存地址是否相等。String重写了这个.equals()方法，它没有使用内存地址，而是返回字符级别的字符串的相等性比较。

A key note is that strings are stored in one lump pool so once a string is created it is forever stored in a program at the same address. Strings do not change, they are immutable. This is why it is a bad idea to use regular string concatenation if you have a serious of amount of string processing to do. Instead you would use the StringBuilder classes provided. Remember the pointers to this string can change and if you were interested to see if two pointers were the same == would be a fine way to go. Strings themselves do not.

操作符==总是用于对象引用比较，而String类.equals()方法用于内容比较被重写:

String s1 = new String("abc");
String s2 = new String("abc");
System.out.println(s1 == s2); // It prints false (reference comparison)
System.out.println(s1.equals(s2)); // It prints true (content comparison)

==操作符检查两个引用是否指向同一个对象。.equals()检查实际的字符串内容(值)。

注意.equals()方法属于类Object(所有类的超类)。您需要根据您的类需求重写它，但是对于String，它已经实现了，并且它检查两个字符串是否具有相同的值。

Case 1 String s1 = "Stack Overflow"; String s2 = "Stack Overflow"; s1 == s2; //true s1.equals(s2); //true Reason: String literals created without null are stored in the String pool in the permgen area of heap. So both s1 and s2 point to same object in the pool. Case 2 String s1 = new String("Stack Overflow"); String s2 = new String("Stack Overflow"); s1 == s2; //false s1.equals(s2); //true Reason: If you create a String object using the new keyword a separate space is allocated to it on the heap.

功能:

public float simpleSimilarity(String u, String v) {
    String[] a = u.split(" ");
    String[] b = v.split(" ");

    long correct = 0;
    int minLen = Math.min(a.length, b.length);

    for (int i = 0; i < minLen; i++) {
        String aa = a[i];
        String bb = b[i];
        int minWordLength = Math.min(aa.length(), bb.length());

        for (int j = 0; j < minWordLength; j++) {
            if (aa.charAt(j) == bb.charAt(j)) {
                correct++;
            }
        }
    }

    return (float) (((double) correct) / Math.max(u.length(), v.length()));
}

测试:

String a = "This is the first string.";

String b = "this is not 1st string!";

// for exact string comparison, use .equals

boolean exact = a.equals(b);

// For similarity check, there are libraries for this
// Here I'll try a simple example I wrote

float similarity = simple_similarity(a,b);

您还可以使用compareTo()方法来比较两个string。如果compareTo结果为0，则两个字符串相等，否则被比较的字符串不相等。

==比较引用，不比较实际字符串。如果你确实使用new string (somestring).intern()创建了每个字符串，那么你可以使用==操作符来比较两个字符串，否则只能使用equals()或compareTo方法。
