Comparing Integer objects [duplicate]

by

For reference types, == checks whether the references are equal, i.e. whether they point to the same object.

For primitive types, == checks whether the values are equal.

java.lang.Integer is a reference type. int is a primitive type.

Edit: If one operand is of primitive type, and the other of a reference type that unboxes to a suitable primitive type, == will compare values, not references.
