Java String.equals versus ==
Is it possible to compare Java Strings using == operator?
Why do I often see, that equals() method is used instead?
Is it because when comparing with literal Strings (like “Hello”) using == doesn’t imply calling equals()?
there is no custom operator overloading in java. [so you cannot overload it to call equals()]
the equals() ensures you check if 2 Objects are identical,while == checks if this is the exact same object. [so no, using == does not invoke equals()].
