Solution 3:

publicstaticboolean compaireString (Stringstring, String string2) 
{
    // string == null && String2 == null or they reference the same objectif (string == string2) returntrue;
    //we have to be sure that string is not null before calling a methode on itif (string != null && string.equals(string2)) returntrue;

   returnfalse;
}
