Object equality behaves different in .NET

Question

I have these statements and their\' results are near them.

string a = \"abc\";
string b = \"abc\";

Console.Writeline(a == b); //true

object x = a;
object y         


        

Answer 1

Because they are two different object references. The built-in comparison for this is to compare whether they point to the same actual object or not.

Due to String Interning, a and b are both references to the same string object.

c==d is true because the string equality operator is being used.
