  1. How to compare two byte values

Compare two byte values

We can use compareTo(Byte anotherByte) to compare two Byte objects numerically. The following table lists the return value from compareTo(Byte anotherByte).

ValueMeanings
0if this Byte is equal to the argument Byte;
less than 0if this Byte is numerically less than the argument Byte;
greater than 0if this Byte is numerically greater than the argument Byte (signed comparison).

Let's give it a try.

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //from  java 2s .  c om
    Byte byte1 = new Byte("1");
    Byte byte2 = new Byte("2");
    System.out.println(byte1.compareTo(byte2));
  }
}

The output:

equals(Object obj) compares this object to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Byte object that contains the same byte value as this object.

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    /*from   j a  va  2s  .  c om*/
    Byte byte1 = new Byte("1");
    Byte byte2 = new Byte("2");
    System.out.println(byte1.equals(byte2));
  }
}

The output:
