==可以在许多对象类型中使用，但您可以使用object。等于任何类型，特别是字符串和谷歌地图标记。

下面是关系运算符==和方法.equals()之间区别的一般规则。

object1 == object2比较object1和object2引用的对象是否指向Heap中的相同内存位置。

object1.equals(object2)比较object1和object2的值，而不管它们位于内存中的哪个位置。

可以使用String很好地演示这一点

场景1

 public class Conditionals {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
       String str1 = "Hello";
       String str2 = new String("Hello");
       System.out.println("is str1 == str2 ? " + (str1 == str2 ));
       System.out.println("is str1.equals(str2) ? " + (str1.equals(str2 )));
    }

 }



The result is
      is str1 == str2 ? false
      is str1.equals(str2) ? true 

场景2

public class Conditionals {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
       String str1 = "Hello";
       String str2 = "Hello";
       System.out.println("is str1 == str2 ? " + (str1 == str2 ));
       System.out.println("is str1.equals(str2) ? " + (str1.equals(str2 )));
    }

}

The result is 
  is str1 == str2 ? true
  is str1.equals(str2) ? true

这种字符串比较可以用作比较其他类型对象的基础。

例如，如果我有一个Person类，我需要定义比较两个Person的标准。假设person类有身高和体重的实例变量。

因此，创建person对象person1和person2，并使用.equals()来比较这两个对象，我需要重写person类的equals方法，以定义基于哪个实例变量(高度或重量)的比较。

但是，==操作符仍然会根据两个对象(person1和person2)的内存位置返回结果。

为了便于泛化这个人对象比较，我创建了以下测试类。对这些概念进行实验会发现大量的事实。

package com.tadtab.CS5044;

public class Person {

private double height;
private double weight;

public double getHeight() {
    return height;
}

public void setHeight(double height) {
    this.height = height;
}

public double getWeight() {
    return weight;
}

public void setWeight(double weight) {
    this.weight = weight;
}


@Override
public int hashCode() {
    final int prime = 31;
    int result = 1;
    long temp;
    temp = Double.doubleToLongBits(height);
    result = prime * result + (int) (temp ^ (temp >>> 32));
    return result;
}

@Override
/**
 * This method uses the height as a means of comparing person objects.
 * NOTE: weight is not part of the comparison criteria
 */
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
    if (this == obj)
        return true;
    if (obj == null)
        return false;
    if (getClass() != obj.getClass())
        return false;
    Person other = (Person) obj;
    if (Double.doubleToLongBits(height) != Double.doubleToLongBits(other.height))
        return false;
    return true;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    Person person1 = new Person();
    person1.setHeight(5.50);
    person1.setWeight(140.00);
    
    Person person2 = new Person();
    person2.setHeight(5.70);
    person2.setWeight(160.00);
    
    Person person3 = new Person();
    person3 = person2;
    
    Person person4 = new Person();
    person4.setHeight(5.70);
    
    Person person5 = new Person();
    person5.setWeight(160.00);
    
    System.out.println("is person1 == person2 ? " + (person1 == person2)); // false;
    System.out.println("is person2 == person3 ? " + (person2 == person3)); // true 
    //this is because perosn3 and person to refer to the one person object in memory. They are aliases;
    System.out.println("is person2.equals(person3) ? " + (person2.equals(person3))); // true;
    
    System.out.println("is person2.equals(person4) ? " + (person2.equals(person4))); // true;
    
    // even if the person2 and person5 have the same weight, they are not equal.
    // it is because their height is different
    System.out.println("is person2.equals(person4) ? " + (person2.equals(person5))); // false;
}

}

这个类执行的结果是:

is person1 == person2 ? false
is person2 == person3 ? true
is person2.equals(person3) ? true
is person2.equals(person4) ? true
is person2.equals(person4) ? false

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.

Equals()方法主要比较对象的原始内容。

如果我们写作

    String s1 = "Samim";
    String s2 = "Samim";
    String s3 = new String("Samim");
    String s4 = new String("Samim");

    System.out.println(s1.equals(s2));
    System.out.println(s2.equals(s3));
    System.out.println(s3.equals(s4));

输出将是

true 
true 
true

因为equals()方法比较对象的内容。 在first System.out.println()中，s1和s2的内容是相同的，这就是为什么它打印为真。 另外两个System.out.println()为真。

再一次,

    String s1 = "Samim";
    String s2 = "Samim";
    String s3 = new String("Samim");
    String s4 = new String("Samim");
    
    System.out.println(s1 == s2);
    System.out.println(s2 == s3);
    System.out.println(s3 == s4);

输出将是

true
false 
false

因为==运算符主要比较对象的引用，而不是对象的值。 在first System.out.println()中，s1和s2的引用是相同的，这就是为什么它返回true。

在第二个System.out.println()中，创建了s3对象，这就是为什么会创建另一个s3的引用，并且s2和s3的引用会有所不同，因此它返回“false”。

Third System.out.println()，遵循second System.out.println()的规则，这就是为什么它会返回"false"。

==和equals()之间的主要区别是

1) ==用于比较原语。

例如:

        String string1 = "Ravi";
        String string2 = "Ravi";
        String string3 = new String("Ravi");
        String string4 = new String("Prakash");

        System.out.println(string1 == string2); // true because same reference in string pool
        System.out.println(string1 == string3); // false

2) equals()用于比较对象。 例如:

        System.out.println(string1.equals(string2)); // true equals() comparison of values in the objects
        System.out.println(string1.equals(string3)); // true
        System.out.println(string1.equals(string4)); // false

要在自定义类中使用equals函数，您必须重写equals函数(以及其他函数)。

equals方法比较对象。

==二进制操作符比较内存地址。
