Integer a=1000,b=1000,c=10,d=10;
if(a!=b){System.out.println("Not")}
if(a==b){System.out.println("Yes");}
//It prints out "Not" and "Yes"
but why when i change a and b=100 it only show "Yes"

Someone please clarify ?

Normally, when the primitive types are boxed into the wrapper types, the JVM allocates memory and creates a new object. But for some special cases, the JVM reuses the same object.

The following is the list of primitives stored as immutable objects in cached pool:

boolean values true and false
All byte values
short values between -128 and 127
int values between -128 and 127
char in the range \u0000 to \u007F

This example will print only Not
When i change a and b=100 it only show "Yes"

Integer class with value from -128 to 127 in Java pools

Integer i1 = -128;
Integer i2 = -128;
i1==i2 - true, because i1 and i2 from pool

Integer i1 = -129;
Integer i2 = -129;
i1==i2 - false

Integer i1 = 127;
Integer i2 = 127;
i1==i2 - true, because i1 and i2 from pool

Integer i1 = 128;
Integer i2 = 128;
i1==i2 - false


But

Integer i1 = new Integer(127);
Integer i2 = new Integer(127);
i1==i2 - false, because i1 and i2 create at Runtime, not from pool
