Kotlin equivalent of Java's equalsIgnoreCase

Question

What is the equivalent of Java equalsIgnoreCase in Kotlin to compare String values?

I have used equals but it's not case insensitive.

Answer 1

You can use equals but specify ignoreCase parameter:

"example".equals("EXAMPLE", ignoreCase = true) 

Answer 2

As per the Kotlin Documentation :

fun String?.equals(     other: String?,      ignoreCase: Boolean = false ): Boolean 

https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.text/equals.html

For Example:

val name: String = "Hitesh" when{ name.equals("HITESH", true) -> {                                 // DO SOMETHING     } }
