title: comparing elements of the same array in java
body: <p>I am trying to compare elements of the same array. That means that i want to compare the 0 element with every other element, the 1 element with every other element and so on. The problem is that it is not working as intended. . What i do is I have two for loops that go from 0 to array.length-1.. Then i have an if statement that goes as follows: if(a[i]!=a[j+1]) </p>
  
  <pre><code>for (int i = 0; i &lt; a.length - 1; i++) {
      for (int k = 0; k &lt; a.length - 1; k++) {
          if (a[i] != a[k + 1]) {
              System.out.println(a[i] + " not the same with  " + a[k + 1] + "\n");
          }
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
