Check if Two Integers are Equal or Not in Java

Last Updated : 21 Jun, 2021

Checking two integers equal or not in Java is done by various approaches.

Arithmetic operator
Comparison Operators
String functions
XOR operator
Complement (~) and bit-wise (&) operator

Example

Input:    FirstNumber = 15
          SecondNumber= 15
Output: Numbers are same

Input:    FirstNumber = 15
          SecondNumber= 25
Output: Numbers are not same

Approach #1: Arithmetic Operator

If two numbers are equal then their subtraction is equal to 0.

Java

// Check Two Integers are Equal or Not in Java
// using arithmetic operator
import java.io.*;
class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int firstNumber = 15;
        int secondNumber = 15;
        if ((firstNumber - secondNumber) == 0)
            System.out.println("Numbers are equal");
        else
            System.out.println("Numbers are not equal");
    }
}

Output

Numbers are equal

Approach #2: Comparison Operators

If two numbers are equal then equal operator in if condition returns true, else return false.

Java

// Check Two Integers are Equal or Not in Java
// using Comparison Operators
import java.io.*;
class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int firstNumber = 15;
        int secondNumber = 15;
        if (firstNumber == secondNumber)
            System.out.println("Numbers are equal");
        else
            System.out.println("Numbers are not equal");
    }
}

Output

Numbers are equal

Approach #3: String functions

Convert Numbers to string and use compareTo() method in the string class. compareTo() method returns 0 if both strings are same, else returns 1 or -1.

Java

// Check Two Integers are Equal or Not in Java
// using String functions
import java.io.*;
class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String firstNumber = 15 + "";
        String secondNumber = 15 + "";
        if (firstNumber.compareTo(secondNumber) == 0)
            System.out.println("Numbers are equal");
        else
            System.out.println("Numbers are not equal");
    }
}

Output

Numbers are equal

Approach #4: XOR Operation

XOR property states that XOR of the two same numbers is zero.

Java

// Check Two Integers are Equal or Not in Java
// using XOR Operation
import java.io.*;
class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int firstNumber = 15;
        int secondNumber = 15;
        if ((firstNumber^secondNumber)==0)
            System.out.println("Numbers are equal");
        else
            System.out.println("Numbers are not equal");
    }
}

Output

Numbers are equal

Approach #5: Complement (~) and Bit-wise (&) Operator

Java

// Check Two Integers are Equal or Not in Java
import java.io.*;

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int firstNumber = 15;
        int secondNumber = 15;
        if ((firstNumber & ~secondNumber) == 0
            && (~firstNumber & secondNumber) == 0)
            System.out.print("Numbers are equal");
        else
            System.out.print("Numbers are not equal");
    }
}

Output

Numbers are equal
