Compare two long values

int compareTo(Long anotherLong)
Compares two Long objects numerically.
boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares this object to the specified object.

compareTo(Long anotherLong) returns

ValueMeaning
0if this Long is equal to the argument Long;
less than 0if this Long is numerically less than the argument Long;
greater than 0if this Long is numerically greater than the argument Long.

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Long long1 = new Long(12345L);
    Long long2 = new Long("12346");
    
    System.out.println(long1.compareTo(long2));
  }
}

The output: 


-1

If you just want to check the equality, 


public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Long long1 = new Long(12345L);
    Long long2 = new Long("12346");
    
    System.out.println(long1.equals(long2));
  }
}

The output: 


false
