Use equals() to compare objects Use == to compare intergers

'==' is used to test a condition,if its true it returns 'true'.. I can explain equals() since i don't know what language your referring to..

Equals() method is defined in Object class in Java and used for checking equality of two objects defined by business logic. “==” or equality operator in Java is a binary operator provided by Java programming language and used to compare primitives and objects. public boolean equals(Object o)is the method provided by the Object class. The default implementation uses == operator to compare two objects. For example: method can be overridden like String class. equals() method is used to compare the values of two objects.
