java Long datatype comparison

Question

Why does the code below return false for long3 == long2 comparison even though it\'s literal.

public class Strings {

    p         


        

Answer 1

If you want to do

      str3==str2

do like this..

     str3.longValue()==str2.longValue()

This serves your purpose and much faster because you are comparing two primitive type values not objects.
