You don't need to. There are two methods in the String class, equals and compareTo which do it for you.

I guess this question belongs in the "New To Java" forum, but anyway: the method has been written for you, it's in the String class and is called equals.

String s1 = "joe@ajax.com";

String s2 = "john@acme.com";

if (s1.equals(s2)) System.out.println("they are equal");

For email addresses, you may want to use equalsIgnoreCase() instead.
