can't print string and boolean value together in java

Question

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final String man1=\"All man are created equal:27\";
        final String man2=\"All man are crea         


        

Answer 1

The problem lies in this statement -

 System.out.print("All man are created equal:"+man1==man2); 

here a new string (say s1) is generated with the concatenation of All man are created equal: and man1.
Now you have 2 references of string s1 and man1.
Later these two string references - s1 and man2 are compared.

both references(s1 and man2) are different and you are getting false.

Answer 2

Because of Operator Precedence

== is below +, so first it will evaluate the string concatenation (+) and then their equality (==)

The order will be:

1. +: "All man are created equal:" + man1 => "All man are created equal:All man are created equal:27"
2. ==: "All man are created equal:All man are created equal:27" == man2 => false
3. System.out.println(false)

Bonus use equals to compare strings (objects)

public static void main(String[] args) {
    final String man1 = "All man are created equal:28";
    final String man2 = "All man are created equal:" + man1.length();

    System.out.println(("All man are created equal:" + man1) == man2);
    System.out.println("All man are created equal:" + (man1 == man2));
    System.out.println("All man are created equal:" + man1.equals(man2));
}

Output

false
All man are created equal:false
All man are created equal:true
