Output:
false true false true false false

For me it seems to be true for all the things? How the output comes like that? Can anyone explain why?

You need to read the doc for the == operator.
What is it comparing when the operands are objects?
For compairing objects, use the equals() method.

Because of the way the JVM uses strings, sometimes two String references will be == but not in general.
