.equals() always returning true

[zacharynevin]

I am trying to check if two bitarray are equivelant, but I get 'true' no matter what. Let's say I have the following bitarrays:

bitarray_1.toString() =  001001000
bitarray_2.toString() =  101001000

bitarray_1.equals(bitarray_2) // this should return false
-> true

I just decided to XOR the bitarrays and check if count() is equal to 0.
