Task

Complete Student so that two students count as equal when their names match.

The program prints true, false, false. Compare names with equals, not ==.

Your solution

// Complete the class: two students are equal when their names match.

class Student {
    private String name;

    public Student(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    // write equals here

}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Student a = new Student("Ada");
        Student b = new Student("Ada");
        Student c = new Student("Bo");
        System.out.println(a.equals(b));
        System.out.println(a.equals(c));
        System.out.println(a.equals(7));
    }
}
