String.equals()
or String.equalsIgnoreCase()
calls
with a string literal argument.
Some coding standards specify that string literals should be the qualifier of equals()
, rather than
argument, thus minimizing NullPointerException
-s.
A quick-fix is available to exchange the literal and the expression.
Example:
boolean isFoo(String value) {
return value.equals("foo");
}
After the quick-fix is applied:
boolean isFoo(String value) {
return "foo".equals(value);
}
