== & equals( ) in StringBuffer

[sadas dsdasd]

Hi all,
StringBuffer sb1=new StringBuffer("abc");
StringBuffer sb2=new StringBuffer("abc");
if(sb1.equals(sb2))
I think it returns false as StringBuffer doesn't override equals() method.If I am wrong please correct me.
What is the result if it is like this.
StringBuffer sb1=new StringBuffer("abc");
StringBuffer sb2=sb1;
what does the following comparisons return?
1)if(sb1==sb2)
2)if(sb1.equals(sb2))
please help me.Thanks in advance.

The answer to the first Question is correct !!
The answer to 2a) is it returns true as there is only one
reference at sb1 !!
The answer to 2b) is also true as it is the same stringbuffer
object

The answer to the first one is false because sb1 and sb2 are two different references.
s1 == s2 is true since both refer to the same reference.
s1.equals(s2) is true because if the two string references are same then this has to be true.
