K I did something like this and all ok now it return the true compare value

public boolean equals(Object o)
{
System.out.println(o instanceof Moof);
System.out.println(((Moof)o).getMoofValue());
System.out.println(this.moofValue); //XXX
if ((o instanceof Moof) && (((Moof)o).getMoofValue() == this.moofValue))
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}

Have you overridden the "equals" method of Object to allow your teacher instances to compare themselves? The instances are not the same and that is what the "equals" method is returning to you. YOu must define the state of your objects.

Check top post is the solution of overridding equal

How do you compare String objects? You cannot use "==". There is a method of the String class which compares one String with another.
