how to compare between two array of character arrays

[reva]

hi all!!
can any one please help me in checking the two character arrays.
in my code i need to compare a character array(seq) to that of hydrob and hydrop . if the seq has hydrob then it should be given a different colour. if it has a hydrop then it should be assigned a different colour. if the sequence does not have a character that is neither in hydrob and hydrop then they shuld be given a separate colour.

for (int i=0;i<seqlength;i++)//a for loop to get a letter 
        {   
            char str1 = seq[i]; // getting the first letter from 
 
            for (int j=0;j<hydroblen;j++)//for loop to check the
            {  
                if (str1 == hydrob[j])//checking problem in here (suppose)
                {
                   res=1;//setting a value
                   System.out.println("reach") ;
                   repaint();//calling d paint function to paint in 
                   //System.out.println("reach") ;
                   //j++;
                } 
            } 
        }
        System.out.println("over") ;
        for (int i=0;i<seqlength;i++)
        {
            char str2 = seq[i];
                for (int k =0;k<hydroplen;k++)                    
                {
 
                   while(str2==hydrop[k])
                {                    
                    res =0;
                    repaint();
                    k++;
                    System.out.println("reach") ;
                }
                }
 
        }
 
 
i have compared them using this. but this is not much efficient which just paints the hydrophilic sequence lenght and paints the seq for that length of sequence. 
 
also the if loop in the paint function which have to do the paint for hydrob is not executing.
 
if(res==1)
        {
            gc.drawString(s, 700,700) ;// not executing the loop
             for (int i =0;i<seqlength;i++)
         {
           gc.drawString(s, 700,700) ;  //to check whether the loop s executing.
        for (int j=0; j><hydroblen;j++)
        {       
            x[i]= x0 + radius*Math.sin(theta*(i));
            y[i]= y0 - radius*Math.cos(theta*(i));
            X[i] = (int) x[i];
            Y[i]= (int) y[i];
            gc.fillOval(X[j]-7,Y[j]-7,14,14);
            seq1 = seq[i] + "";
            hydrop1 = hydrop[j]+"";
            gc.drawString(seq1, X[i], Y[i]-8); 
            gc.drawString("",X[j], Y[j]-8);
            gc.drawLine(X[j],Y[j],X[j+1],Y[j+1]);
            gc.setColor(Color.yellow);

May I suggest a Set<Character> and let auto(un)boxing do the rest? Sets have
very convenient methods (removeAll, retainAll etc.) so it'll be extremely easy
to determine whether or not a char is present in two char arrays.

kind regards,

Jos

hello jos,

thanks for your guidence but i cant get what you want to implemnt and where it should be done.
is there any other method to do by slightly modifying the code that ive written....?

thanks again

so whr is da problem ?

hello hirak,
thanks for your reply
the problem is in comparing the two arrays. in the if(str1 == hydrob[j]) which is not efficient to compare the arrays and results in false results.

thanks
reva
