[Solved] How to determine equality of gene objects by gene name in Java

by


You could do something like this

add a getter method for name in your Gene class

public String getName() {
    return name;
}

then in another class use logic similar to this

ArrayList<Gene> matchingGenes = new ArrayList<>();
for (Gene gene1 : genelist1) {
    for (Gene gene2 : genelist2) {
        if gene1.getName().equals(gene2.getName) {
            matchingGenes.add(gene1);
            matchingGenes.add(gene2);
        }
    }
}

This will leave you with a list containing pairs of every Gene that shared a name with a Gene from the other list.
