How do I check if a string is equal to another string?

In my rails app, I'm trying to check if one string (current_user.email) is equal to another string, (@user.email). How would I do this with an if/else statement? I tried 

<% if @current_user.email([email protected]) %>    
  <a href="google.com"> Link </a>
<% else %>
<% end %>

but I got a syntax error. help?

<% if @current_user.email == @user.bio %> try this & see.

The invalid syntax is (=@. The = is for assignment and has no use in method invocation.

Your if line should look like

<% if @current_user.email == @user.email %>
