Java - Strings and String Handling

What will be the output of the following code?

String s1 = "Hello";
String s2 = new String("Hello");
System.out.println(s1 == s2);
System.out.println(s1.equals(s2));

Afalse false

Btrue true

Cfalse true

Dtrue false

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand == vs equals() for strings
== compares references (memory addresses), equals() compares content.
Step 2: Analyze given strings
s1 is a string literal, s2 is a new String object with same content. So s1 == s2 is false, but s1.equals(s2) is true.
Final Answer:
false true -> Option C
Quick Check:
== compares references, equals() compares content = false true [OK]

Quick Trick: == checks memory, equals() checks string content [OK]
