1.Write a program to check whether two strings are equal or not.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class StringEqualityChecker
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
// Input first string
System.out.print("Enter the first string: ");
String firstString = scanner.nextLine();
// Input second string
System.out.print("Enter the second string: ");
String secondString = scanner.nextLine();
// Check if the strings are equal
if (areStringsEqual(firstString, secondString))
{
System.out.println("The strings are equal.");
}
else
{
System.out.println("The strings are not equal.");
}
// Close the scanner to avoid resource leak
scanner.close();
}
// Method to check whether two strings are equal
private static boolean areStringsEqual(String str1, String str2)
{
// Use equals method for string comparison
return str1.equals(str2);
 }}

2.Write a program to display reverse string.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class ReverseString {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

// Input string

System.out.print("Enter a string: ");

String inputString = scanner.nextLine();

// Display the reverse of the string

String reversedString = reverseString(inputString);

System.out.println("Reversed String: " + reversedString);

// Close the scanner to avoid resource leak

scanner.close();

// Method to reverse a string

private static String reverseString(String input) {

// Convert the string to a char array

char[] charArray = input.toCharArray();

// Reverse the char array

int start = 0;
 int end = charArray.length - 1;

while (start < end) {

// Swap characters at start and end indices

char temp = charArray[start];

charArray[start] = charArray[end];

charArray[end] = temp;

// Move indices towards the center

start++;

end--;

// Convert the char array back to a string

return new String(charArray);
