Check If Two Strings Are Equal using Python

Use == operator to test if two given strings are equal or not. You can use != as not equal to operator. It returns false if string matches.

Example

In this example, we initialize two variable with sting and compare if both stings are equal or not.

x = "Hello"
y = "Hello"
if x == y:
    print("Equal")
else:
    print("Not equal")

x = "Hello"

y = "Hello"

if x == y:

print("Equal")

else:

print("Not equal")

Output:

Equal

Here is another sample Python program which will prompt user to enter a strings. Then compare the input string with another predefined string.

name = "Rahul"
x = input("Enter your name to confirm: ")

if x == name:
    print("Match found")
fi

name = "Rahul"

x = input("Enter your name to confirm: ")

if x == name:

print("Match found")
