    Default Traversing a binary tree while looking for a string

    I am unsure how to look to see if the string in the current node is the same as the message I am looking for.I thought about using compareTo(), but then I wasn't sure if what would work or not. So far I have:


    public void searchRooms(MountainCave theParent, String name, String message){
            if(theParent == null){
                return false;
            }else if(theParent.String.compareTo(message){
                return true;
            }//else if( )
     
        }

    Did it work?
    What happens?
    What does the API say about comparing Strings?
