public class b{
public static void main(String args[]){
StringBuffer sb1 = new StringBuffer("Amit");
StringBuffer sb2= new StringBuffer("Amit");
String ss1 = "Amit";
System.out.println(sb1==sb2);
System.out.println(sb1.equals(sb2));
System.out.println(sb1.equals(ss1));
System.out.println("Poddar".substring(3));
}

public class b{
public static void main(String args[]){
StringBuffer sb1 = new StringBuffer("Amit");
StringBuffer sb2= new StringBuffer("Amit");
String ss1 = "Amit";
System.out.println(sb1==sb2);
System.out.println(sb1.equals(sb2));
System.out.println(sb1.equals(ss1));
System.out.println("Poddar".substring(3));
}
}

false
The 2 StringBuffer objects do not point to the same object.
false
StringBuffer inherits the Object classes equals() method. So it is not doing the same thing that String equals() method does.
false
See above answer.

Poddar - 0 based so 3 starts at the second d.
