Last Updated : December 15, 2025

Problem Solution

In this program, we will create three string variables and compare them using the Equal To (==) operator and print the appropriate message.

Program/Source Code

The source code to compare two strings using the Equal To (==) operator is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

# Ruby program to compare two strings 
# using the Equal To (==) operator

Str1 = "Hello";
Str2 = "hello";
Str3 = "Hello";

if (Str1 == Str2)
    print "Str1 and Str2 are equal\n";
else
    print "Str1 and Str2 are not equal\n";
end

if (Str1 == Str3)
    print "Str1 and Str3 are equal\n";
else
    print "Str1 and Str3 are not equal\n";
end

Output

Str1 and Str2 are not equal
Str1 and Str3 are equal
