+- We do not use == to validate string equality.
+- Instead, since string variables point to an object with a value of a series of letters, we can use the String method equals().
+
+```java
+private String name1, name2;
+name1 = "Peter";
+name2 = new String "Peter";
+
+public boolean isEqual( name1, name2 )
+{
+	if ( name1.equals(name2) ) {
+		return true
+	}
+	else {
+		return false
+	}
+}
+```
