how to compare string in java

int str1.compareTo(String str2)if (aName.equals(anotherName))
        { 
            System.out.println(aName + " equals " + anotherName);
        }
        else 
            { 
                System.out.println(aName + " does not equal " +anotherName );
                           
            }System.out.println("hey".equals("hey")); //prints true

/*
	always use .equals() instead of ==,
    because == does the compare the string content but
    loosely where the string is stored in.
