contentEquals()

[suresh kamsa]

Could anyone tell me how to use contentEquals() function?
String s = "hello"; //line1
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("hello"); //line2
System.out.println(s.contentEquals(sb)); //line3
Its giving me error at line 3
Thanks

What error message do you get?
Is it something about an unknown method and are you using a JDK pre 1.4? If so, if you take a good look at The String Class Documentation, you'll notice that that method is "since 1.4".
