Java String difference between == (equalto) and equals

    Equals method in string class is overridden from object class to checks its value.

    The operator cannot be overridden in java == operator will always checks its memory where reference are pointing it.

Checkout this example

package stat;

public class SampleString {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		
		String s1=new String("Candid");
		
		String s2="Candid";
		String s3="Candid";
		
		
		System.out.println(s1==s2); // check the object memory where it is created
		
		System.out.println(s2==s3); 
		
		
		System.out.println(s1.equals(s2)); // equals method checks the value
		System.out.println(s2.equals(s3));  
		
	}

}
