Ok, I'm sorry to bother u. Just wondering pls, how come
System.out.println(Arrays.equals(aa, bb)); prints false? I mean from the code snippet u used as example for the deepEquals and equals.
The API says:
>if the two specified arrays of ints are equal to one another: I think so
>if both arrays contain the same number of elements: think so too
>all corresponding pairs of elements in the two arrays are equal: think so
>In other words, two arrays are equal if they contain the same elements in the same order
Here is the code again
import java.util.*;
public class DeepEqualsExample {
public static void main(String [] args){
int [] a = {1, 2};
int [] b = {1, 2};
int [][]aa = {a};
int [][] bb = {b};
System.out.println(Arrays.equals(aa, bb);
System.out.println(Arrays.deepEquals(aa, bb));
}
}
Thanx

Try running this code instead and examine the differences:
int [] a = {1, 2};
int [] b = {1, 2};
int [][]aa = {a};
int [][] bb = {a};
System.out.println(Arrays.equals(aa, bb));
System.out.println(Arrays.deepEquals(aa, bb));

I'm just messing with you no worries I'm stuck at work and it sucks gota have fun somehow ^.^ and i might have explained that wrong can't really tell any feedback?
Without additional checking, i suspect that this statement in the deepEquals method states why the results are different:
Unlike the equals(Object[],Object[]) method, this method is appropriate for use with nested arrays of arbitrary depth.
While there is no correspondingly opposite statement in the the equals method, it appears (from the above) that there could be a mention of the linitation.

Probably needed the extra fiber after a meal like that.
