String s1 == String s2 (true) but FieldOffset is different

Question

As I am studying java, I have learned that the proper way to compare 2 Strings is to use equals and not \"==\". This line

static String s1 = \"a\";
static String s2          


        

Answer 1

In the Code above you are not comparing the addresses of the strings, but their "location of a given field in the storage allocation", i.e. the location of the variables holding a reference to (the same) string.
