If I will write
String s=new String("XYZ");
String s1=new String("XYZ");
if(s.equals(s1)){
sop("True");
}
else{
sop("False");
}
This program will give me "True".
But When I am creating my own class suppose
class Employee{
public Employee(String name);
}
Employee e= new Employee("XYZ");
Employee e1 = neew Employee("XYZ");
if(e.equals(e1)){
sop("True");
}
else{
sop("False");
}
Then it will give the output as "False".
Can I know what is happening internally?

Extending Ashish Singh's answer, If you want employee to return true for the use case you have mentioned, override your equals and hashcode method and check only for the String object that you have in employee class in your overridden equals method. It'll return true.
