Answer 1

public static boolean equal(double[][] a, double[][] b) {
        if (a == null) {
            return (b == null);
        }
        if (b == null) {
            return false;  // already know 'a' isn't null
        }
        if (a.length != b.length) {
            return false;
        }
        for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
            if (!Arrays.equals(a[i], b[i])) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
