Is there a way to test if a matrix line is made of precise values?

Question

I tried the following program but it doesn't print what it should. I'm sure that the way I check the array is correct but when I put it in a "if" tester the program doesn't give me results

import java.util.Arrays;

public class 3Dmatrix {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    int [][][] cube;
    cube = new int [2][2][2];
    cube [0][0][0] = 4;
    cube [0][0][1] = 2;
    if (cube [0] [0] == new int[]{4, 2}) {
        System.out.println("cat");
    }
  }
}

Answer 1

Use the Arrays.equals method. Here you go, this works and returns True:

import java.util.Arrays;
public class scratch
{

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int[][][] cube;
        cube = new int[2][2][2];
        cube[0][0][0] = 4;
        cube[0][0][1] = 2;
        int[] test = new int[]{4, 2};
        for (int i = 0; i < test.length; i++)
            System.out.println(cube[0][0][i] + " " + test[i]); //Printing test
        if (Arrays.equals(cube[0][0], new int[]{4, 2})) //Returns true
            System.out.println("YES");
        else
            System.out.println("NO");
    }
}
