Comparing the paths of the two files in Java

// Java code to compare the paths of 
// two files

import java.io.*;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //file object creation
    File F1 = new File("d://courses//intro.docx");
    File F2 = new File("d://courses//intro.docx");
    File F3 = new File("d://courses//basic.docx");

    //comparing file paths using compareTo() method
    //comparing file paths of F1 and F2
    if (F1.compareTo(F2) == 0) {
      System.out.println("paths of F1 and F2 are same...");
    } else {
      System.out.println("paths of F1 and F2 are not same...");
    }

    //comparing file paths of F2 and F3
    if (F2.compareTo(F3) == 0) {
      System.out.println("paths of F2 and F3 are same...");
    } else {
      System.out.println("paths of F2 and F3 are not same...");
    }

    //comparing file paths of F3 and F1
    if (F3.compareTo(F1) == 0) {
      System.out.println("paths of F3 and F1 are same...");
    } else {
      System.out.println("paths of F3 and F1 are not same...");
    }
  }
}

Output

paths of F1 and F2 are same...
paths of F2 and F3 are not same...
paths of F3 and F1 are not same...
