why u r trying to compare string and integer?
take (+,-,*,/) as string n then compare .it will work.
dont take plus as int.

Not sure what you are doing with int but, equals() can compare objects.

I don't understand what your problem is? Can you explain?

iwant to compare between plus and o

if plus is int and o is a String, then you must convert one of them to the same type to be able to compare them. You've done that with the parseInt method. Now they are both int.
ints can be compared with the ==, <, > etc operators.

one easy way to do is like this:

String o= JOptionPane.showInputDialog("please enter the kind of operation (1 for +,2 for -,3 for *,4 for /,5 for %)");
		
    switch((Integer.parseInt(o)))
    {
     case 1: // iwant to compare between plus and o
     JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "the value ="+(x+y));
     break;

     }
