Method Detail

equal

public static boolean equal(java.lang.Object a,
                            java.lang.Object b)

Determines whether two possibly-null objects are equal. Returns:

• true if a and b are both null.
• true if a and b are both non-null and they are equal according to Object.equals(Object).
• false in all other situations.

This assumes that any non-null objects passed to this function conform to the equals() contract.

Note for Java 7 and later: This method should be treated as deprecated; use Objects.equals(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object) instead.
