toString()

[Thiru Thangavelu]

The answer says false. I thought since toString() is called on the sameObject, it will not create a new String. Will it again create a new String for each toString() invocation?
1: Byte b1 = new Byte("127");
2:
3: if(b1.toString() == b1.toString())
4: System.out.println("True");
5: else
6: System.out.println("False");

right... each b1.toString() method creates a new String object. but what happens if you call

if( b1.toString().equals( b1.toString() ) )

Thanks,
output true for equals(), Obviously since Boolean wrapper class overrides equals().
