March 15th, 2006

A very common mistake that lots of Java programmers will make is to use "==" to compare strings, rather than ".equals". That's what I keep reminding myself all the time and I never use "==" to do any string compare.

Just today, when I was testing a Java program, I noticed that the programmer used "==" to compare strings, everywhere in the 4000-line program. Why there's no logic error in the program? Why is the program still getting the correct output?

I believe all of you had heard of the WebmasterWorld Forum. It's a very informative forum with lots of resources for webmasters. I remember that they require us to make payment to join. I don't believe it when Matt Cutts wrote about joining WebmasterWorld for free. And so, I try it myself.

I clicked on the "register" link on the top bar and I filled up my information. Then, I received an activation email like every other registration. Then, after I logged in, I'm already allowed to make posts or reply to posts. This is cool!
