Nicholas DeFazio created LANG-1161:
--------------------------------------
Summary: StringUtils.startsWith returns true for an empty string
comparison
Key: LANG-1161
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1161
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 3.3
Reporter: Nicholas DeFazio
Priority: Trivial
When working on a project I noticed that...
{code}
boolean match = StringUtils.startsWith("abcdef", "");
System.out.println(match); //prints true
{code}
My thought was that a comparison of a non empty string to an empty string
should result in a false, similar to how null is handled.
{code}
boolean match = StringUtils.startsWith("abcdef", null);
System.out.println(match); //prints false
{code}
