只需记住.equals(…)必须由您试图比较的类实现。否则，就没有什么意义了;Object类的方法版本所做的事情与比较操作相同:

唯一需要对对象使用比较运算符的时候是比较枚举的时候。这是因为一次只有一个Enum值的实例。例如，给定枚举

enum FooEnum {A, B, C}

你永远不会同时拥有一个以上的A实例，对于B和c也是如此。这意味着你实际上可以像这样编写一个方法:

public boolean compareFoos(FooEnum x, FooEnum y)
{
    return (x == y);
}

你就不会有任何问题了。

根据你谈论的是“原语”还是“对象类型”，有一些小的区别;如果你在谈论“静态”或“非静态”成员，也可以这样说;你也可以混合上面所有的…

下面是一个例子(你可以运行它):

public final class MyEqualityTest
{
    public static void main( String args[] )
    {
        String s1 = new String( "Test" );
        String s2 = new String( "Test" );

        System.out.println( "\n1 - PRIMITIVES ");
        System.out.println( s1 == s2 ); // false
        System.out.println( s1.equals( s2 )); // true

        A a1 = new A();
        A a2 = new A();

        System.out.println( "\n2 - OBJECT TYPES / STATIC VARIABLE" );
        System.out.println( a1 == a2 ); // false
        System.out.println( a1.s == a2.s ); // true
        System.out.println( a1.s.equals( a2.s ) ); // true

        B b1 = new B();
        B b2 = new B();

        System.out.println( "\n3 - OBJECT TYPES / NON-STATIC VARIABLE" );
        System.out.println( b1 == b2 ); // false
        System.out.println( b1.getS() == b2.getS() ); // false
        System.out.println( b1.getS().equals( b2.getS() ) ); // true
    }
}

final class A
{
    // static
    public static String s;
    A()
    {
        this.s = new String( "aTest" );
    }
}

final class B
{
    private String s;
    B()
    {
        this.s = new String( "aTest" );
    }

    public String getS()
    {
        return s;
    }

}

您可以比较“==”(相等运算符)和“.equals(…)”的解释。(java.lang.Object类中的方法)通过以下链接:

= = http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/op2.html .equals(…):http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html # = (java . lang . object)

一般来说，你问题的答案是“是的”，但是……

.equals(...) will only compare what it is written to compare, no more, no less. If a class does not override the equals method, then it defaults to the equals(Object o) method of the closest parent class that has overridden this method. If no parent classes have provided an override, then it defaults to the method from the ultimate parent class, Object, and so you're left with the Object#equals(Object o) method. Per the Object API this is the same as ==; that is, it returns true if and only if both variables refer to the same object, if their references are one and the same. Thus you will be testing for object equality and not functional equality. Always remember to override hashCode if you override equals so as not to "break the contract". As per the API, the result returned from the hashCode() method for two objects must be the same if their equals methods show that they are equivalent. The converse is not necessarily true.

 String w1 ="Sarat";
 String w2 ="Sarat";
 String w3 = new String("Sarat");

 System.out.println(w1.hashCode());   //3254818
 System.out.println(w2.hashCode());   //3254818
 System.out.println(w3.hashCode());   //3254818

 System.out.println(System.identityHashCode(w1)); //prints 705927765
 System.out.println(System.identityHashCode(w2)); //prints 705927765
 System.out.println(System.identityHashCode(w3)); //prints 366712642


 if(w1==w2)   //  (705927765==705927765)
 {
   System.out.println("true");
 }
 else
 {
   System.out.println("false");
 }
 //prints true

 if(w2==w3)   //  (705927765==366712642)
 {
   System.out.println("true");
 }
 else
 {
   System.out.println("false");
 }
 //prints false


 if(w2.equals(w3))   //  (Content of 705927765== Content of 366712642)
 {
   System.out.println("true");
 }
 else
 {
   System.out.println("false");
 }
 //prints true

例1 -

==和.equals方法只用于引用比较。它表示两个对象是否引用同一个对象。

对象类等于方法实现

public class HelloWorld{
     public static void main(String []args){
       Object ob1 = new Object();
       Object ob2 = ob1;
       System.out.println(ob1 == ob2); // true
       System.out.println(ob1.equals(ob2)); // true
     }    
}

例2 -

但是如果我们想要使用equals方法比较对象的内容，那么class必须重写对象的类equals()方法并提供内容比较的实现。这里，String类重写了用于内容比较的equals方法。所有包装器类都覆盖了用于内容比较的equals方法。

字符串类等于方法实现

public class HelloWorld{
     public static void main(String []args){
       String ob1 = new String("Hi");
       String ob2 = new String("Hi");
       System.out.println(ob1 == ob2); // false (Both references are referring two different objects)
       System.out.println(ob1.equals(ob2)); // true
     }
}

例3 -

对于String，还有一个用例。在这里，当我们将任何字符串赋值给string引用时，字符串常量就会在string常量池中创建。如果将相同的字符串赋值给新的字符串引用，则不会创建新的字符串常量，而是引用现有的字符串常量。

public class HelloWorld{
     public static void main(String []args){
       String ob1 = "Hi";
       String ob2 = "Hi";
       System.out.println(ob1 == ob2); // true
       System.out.println(ob1.equals(ob2)); // true
     }
}

注意，每当重写hashCode方法时，通常都需要重写该方法，以便维护hashCode方法的一般契约，该契约规定相等的对象必须具有相等的散列码。

Java API equals()方法契约

==运算符测试两个变量是否有相同的引用 (又名指向内存地址的指针)。

String foo = new String("abc");
String bar = new String("abc");

if(foo==bar)
// False (The objects are not the same)

bar = foo;

if(foo==bar)
// True (Now the objects are the same)

而equals()方法测试两个变量是否引用对象 具有相同的状态(值)。

String foo = new String("abc");
String bar = new String("abc");

if(foo.equals(bar))
// True (The objects are identical but not same)

欢呼:-)
