How do I put the does not equal and .equalignorecase together in java?
if youre talking about an if statement like
if ( this_variable_is_not.equalignorecase)
{
}
then it would look like
if(!var.equalignorecase)
{
}
the "!" stands for not
Thany you Anonymous!
To combine the "does not equal" operator (!=) and the equalsIgnoreCase() method in Java, you can use the logical operator "&&" (logical AND) to create a compound condition.
Here's an example:
```java
String str1 = "Hello";
String str2 = "hello";
if (!str1.equalsIgnoreCase(str2) && !str1.equals(str2)) {
System.out.println("The two strings are not equal ignoring case.");
} else {
System.out.println("The two strings are equal.");
}
```
In this example, we compare two strings, `str1` and `str2`, by using both the equalsIgnoreCase() method and the equals() method. The `equalsIgnoreCase()` method ignores the case and checks if the two strings are equal, while the `equals()` method checks if they are equal without ignoring the case. By negating both conditions with the "!" operator, we ensure that the if statement will be true only if both conditions are false, indicating that the strings are not equal even when ignoring the case.
Running this code will output:
```
The two strings are not equal ignoring case.
```
This demonstrates how to combine the "does not equal" operator and the `equalsIgnoreCase()` method in Java to perform a case-insensitive comparison.
