Why is 128==128 false but 127==127 is true when comparing Integer wrappers in Java?

Question

class D {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Integer b2=128;
        Integer b3=128;
        System.out.println(b2==b3);
    }
}

Answer 1

Have a look at the Integer.java, if the value is between -128 and 127, it will use the cached pool, so (Integer) 1 == (Integer) 1 while (Integer) 222 != (Integer) 222

 /**
 * Returns an {@code Integer} instance representing the specified
 * {@code int} value.  If a new {@code Integer} instance is not
 * required, this method should generally be used in preference to
 * the constructor {@link #Integer(int)}, as this method is likely
 * to yield significantly better space and time performance by
 * caching frequently requested values.
 *
 * This method will always cache values in the range -128 to 127,
 * inclusive, and may cache other values outside of this range.
 *
 * @param  i an {@code int} value.
 * @return an {@code Integer} instance representing {@code i}.
 * @since  1.5

public static Integer valueOf(int i) {
    assert IntegerCache.high >= 127;
    if (i >= IntegerCache.low && i <= IntegerCache.high)
        return IntegerCache.cache[i + (-IntegerCache.low)];
    return new Integer(i);
}
