Byte and String

[Mylene Morato]

Hello friends,


I have this code:

 
public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  Byte b1 = new Byte("127");

  if(b1.toString() == b1.toString())
    System.out.println("True");
    else
     System.out.println("False");
  }
}

The output is false

Could anybod help me ?
Why the output is false?

Thanks.

Well, simply, the toString() method generates a new string every time. The value in the strings are the same, but they are different strings. And since you are only checking the references, it is false.

b1.toString().equals(b1.toString()) would be true, in other words
