Question

What is the output of the following code? public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { String s1 = new String("Java"); String s2 = new String("Java"); System.out.print((s1 == s2) + " " + (s1.equals(s2))); } }

Answer 1

Answer:

false true

Explanation:

In the code snippet, two string objects are created in java with the value Java.

The print method first checks the condition s1==s2 and outputs false, This is so because the operator == which is used for equality in other primitive data types like ints cannot be applied to the String data type. In the second part of the print function, the equals function s1.equals(s2) is used and it prints true since the two string are equal
