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?

Equals() method of Qbject class checks whether reference id's are same or not.if overridden then it will check for the value contained in those reference id's.String class has overridden equals() so it checks for the value whereas Employee class hasn't so Object class' method runs and reference id's are compared.
