Example:
In the below example, the java.lang.Integer.equals() method is used to compare given Integer objects for equality.
import java.lang.*; public class MyClass { public static void main(String[] args) { //creating Integer objects Integer val1 = new Integer("5"); Integer val2 = new Integer("5"); Integer val3 = new Integer("-5"); //checking Integer objects for equality System.out.println("Is val1 == val2?: " + val1.equals(val2)); System.out.println("Is val1 == val3?: " + val1.equals(val3)); } }
The output of the above code will be:
Is val1 == val2?: true Is val1 == val3?: false
