You can use the following syntax to check for String comparison:
class myTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String s1 = "HELLO";
if (s1.equals(args[0]))
{
System.out.println("Both are equal");
}else
{
System.out.println("Both are not equal");
}
}
}

The value of s1 will have to be substituted with the String value which you obtain from the table.
