Is it possible to check if two arrays are not equal

Question

I\'m aware of the fact that I could just do a:

while(Arrays.equals(array1, array2))

and then just write the code needed in the else

Answer 1

Whats wrong with

if( !Arrays.equals(array1, array2) )

array1.equals(array2) is the same as array1 == array2, i.e. is it the same array. And it's not what most people expect.

Arrays.equals(array1, array2) compares the contents of the arrays.
