About basic concept of String.

Question

Hi, I have a question ::
I know if we create String Literal, it will store in String Pool Object.

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in)
String myName = "Martinus";
String userInput = input.next();

// assume user input is Martinus
System.out.print(myName == userInput);
// it will return false, why? Are they different Object and not store to String Pool? Can you explain to me?
and what about this
String name = input.next();
String name2 = input.next();
// assume user input is the same value, return false

Answer 1

instead of myName == userInput
use
myName.equals (userInput)
as == performs reference comparison and return true if both objects point to same memory location.
Whereas, the equals() function compares the values in the objects.
