The == operator

[Per Radfe]

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Vector;
class Main extends Thread{
public static void main(String[] args) {

Vector<Integer> x = new Vector<Integer>();
ArrayList<Double> y = new ArrayList<Double>();

if ( x == y){
System.out.println("test");
}
}
}

This code dose�nt compile. I thought that you could compare any reference variable but obviously not? Is the == operator working like instanceof wich only can compare instances of the same class hierarchy?

Yes, Using == operator we can compare instances of the same class.
