Strings in Java : equals vs == [duplicate]

by

First of all String.toString is a no-op:

/**
 * This object (which is already a string!) is itself returned.
 *
 * @return  the string itself.
 */
public String toString() {
    return this;
}

Second of all, String constants are interned so s1 and s2 are behind the scenes changed to be the same String instance.
