What is the Relationship between equals method and == in Scala? Differentiate Scala’s == and Java’s == Operator?
Answer Posted / Anshuman Pandey
In Scala, the `equals` method is used to compare objects for equality. However, when using `==`, it actually calls the `eq` method under the hood, which is a more performant but less flexible alternative to `equals`. In contrast, Java's `==` operator checks if two references point to the same object, while `equals` compares the values of objects. Scala's `==` behaves more like Java's `==`, but you should avoid relying on it for general equality comparisons due to its performance and flexibility limitations.
