What is the difference between s1 == s2 and s1.equals(s2) for two String references?
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
The == operator compares the two references and is true only if both point at the same object. The equals method compares the contents of the two strings character by character. For string literals == may accidentally be true because of the string pool, which is why equals must always be used.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
compareTo returns the difference and is used for ordering.
