You have two String[] and you want to compare whether both hold equal values or not, am I right?

[sarika Gupta]

no i have one String[]and i want to compare it with different strings

for example
String[]department="account,It,marketing"
and i want to compare it with all Strings-: Account,It,Marketing

Question is not clear to me. Can you be more specific.

I understood you have array of strings String[] deparment and want to compare with another array of strings. Am I correct?

So you have variables like account, it and marketing?
Since you know the position of account for example you can simply say

 account.equals(department[0])  

That assumes account is at 0, consider using a constant for that like ACCOUNT_POSITION = 0
Better yet create a Department object and then you can compare by saying department.getAccount().equals(account)
