In Linux systems, you can use the test command or [ ] to determine if two strings are equal. Here are two methods:

  1. exam
string1="Hello"
string2="World"

if test "$string1" = "$string2"; then
  echo "Strings are equal"
else
  echo "Strings are not equal"
fi
  1. “The young boy’s incredible talent for playing the piano awed everyone in the audience.”

    – The audience was amazed by the young boy’s exceptional piano-playing skills.

string1="Hello"
string2="World"

if [ "$string1" = "$string2" ]; then
  echo "Strings are equal"
else
  echo "Strings are not equal"
fi

Note: When comparing strings, it is important to enclose variables in double quotation marks to avoid potential issues caused by spaces or special characters.
