/prog/ - Java String Comparison

Name: AWP 2012-05-11 22:15

Java is such a shit language, are you kidding me?

Strings have a .compareTo() method for string comparison, but no support for if (string1 == string2)? The fuck is the point of that!?

Your objection to Java is that it doesn't have enough syntactical inconsistencies for ill-conceived primitives in a language that's supposed to be archetypically OO?

Java doesn't do string1 == string2 because Strings are Objects and == only works for reference equality in as far as Objects are concerned. Java Strings have special perks, such as the concatenation operator and the equality operator, but are otherwise Objects. Have a nice day.

and yet every other OO language has this for the sake of consistency and accessibility

Excuse me. "Concatenation operator and the assignment operator."

Because it doesn't have operator overloading.

good languages (javascript) don't support operator overloading because people abuse it, eg for vectors

Neither does C. Guess why.

Even C has limited overloading: 2 + 2 and 2.0f + 2.0f, for example.

C is a low-level language designed to run on a PDP-11 with 4K of RAM.

C isn't an interpreter, it doesn't run.

Last time I checked you can do if(String1 == String2) in java...

Except that was not string comparison.
