Example:

In this example element are not same position in both array list so return false.. How to check same value in same position without using for loop

I want to expected result this if.

    //These should be equal.
ArrayList<String> listA = {"a", "b", "c"}
ArrayList<String> listB = {"a", "b", "c"}

this type array list then return true because the value and position are same in both array..

return listA.equals(listB). If you don't like for loop, use while — Alex Salauyou

Voting to reopen, since anwer to this question is going to be significantly different from answers to the duped question, as Matlab and java are completely different languages. — amit

use

return listA.equals(listB);

Returns true if and only if the specified object is also a list, both lists have the same size, and all corresponding pairs of elements in the two lists are equal.
