String s1 = new String("amit");
System.out.println(s1.replace('m','r'));
System.out.println(s1);
String s3="arit";
String s4="arit";
String s2 = s1.replace('m','r');
System.out.println(s2==s3);
System.out.println(s3==s4);

I got the thing I suppose. Whenever you perform any method of the String class on a string, a altogether new String is created and it has nothing to do with a string existing in the string pool. So it gives false..
Thanks.
