If you run the program you will see you get a compilation errors. There are mistakes in the type of braces in else block, and also in the new Object.

Ofcourse if you fix these, the out put will be as expected "not equal"

Why this is "not equal", still we are comparing same object and equal is not "==" , which compares object reference. I think it should "equal" but its not

Hi guys,
if we have a look at equals() in the Object class we see:


that's why it prints "not equal"

Finner
