about String & StringBuffer

[Sundar Murthi]

hi..


consider the following code

  
Class Tst{
 public static void main(String []arg){
  String s1=new String("ABC"),s2=new String("ABC");
  StringBuffer sb1=new StringBuffer(s1);
  StringBuffer sb1=new StringBuffer(s2);
  boolean b1=s1.hashCode()==s2.hashCode();
  boolean b2=sb1.hashCode()==sb2.hashCode();
  System.out.println(b1+","+b2);
}
}

what is the output?

The ans given is: true,false

The two string objects are different then how its comparsion gives true??

HashCode method in case of String is over ridden based on the value of the string,,whereas in case of stringbuffer its the same as of Object's.
