Comparison Two Booleans in Java?

Off-topic

Hello All, Can anyone suggest me, where I am wrong in this code? I have to compare two Boolean wrappers with each other. As a result I don’t know they are equal or not.

This is what I came up with:

public static boolean areEqual(final Boolean a, final Boolean b) {
    if (a == b) {
        return true;
    }

    if (a != null && b != null) {
        return a.booleanValue() == b.booleanValue();
    }

    return false;
}

By using the java compiler on interviewbit, Is there a better and/or shorter way to correctly compare two Boolean wrappers for equality?

First I wanted to use Object.equals() or Boolean.compareTo() but both ways could end up in a NullPointerException , right? Any Suggestions

Thanks in Advance!
