difference between equals() and hashCode()

Question

I want a brief definition about the equals() , \"==\" and hashCode(). If i run following code means the output will be \"true false 2420395 2420395\". But i had understand that

Answer 1

equals() only compare string it's does not check reference of string

but '==' check reference and data both

in 1st case String str = "Name"; only one object is created but in

2nd case Two object is created

String str1 = new String("Name");

then reference are not same of both string that means it returns false
