String Not equal Array element.

[Win Win Phyu]

Hi!!

How do I write the if condition to say user string input does not equal the values inside the array. Your response will be appreciated.

if(!str1.equals(str2)){
  ...
}

equals() method compares two strings and if the content of both strings is the same, it returns true. Not operator is used according to the need.

You can use contains method to achieve your requirement :

if(!Arrays.asList(arr).contains(user_string)){
	...
}

In Following code, contains method returns false if it contains user_string in array else it will return true

My reply was incomplete. The code should be inside a loop to traverse through all the values.
