Difference between addition of String Literals and String objects

Question

What is the difference between an addition of String Literal and String Object?

For example

    String s1 =\"hello\";
    String s2 =\"hello1\";
             


        

Answer 1

Because you're comparing references. To compare contents, use s1.equals(s2).

If your comparison of references is intentional, it is unclear why you're expecting the compiler/JVM to intern or not intern identical strings arising in different ways.
