Hi guys,

the below link is for an online Spring Framework training.

has anyone taken this online course?
If yes, do you recommend this?

When a call is made to the toString() method of the b1, the method calls that take place are
given below

generic : Byte.toString()-> String.valueOf(int i)-> Integer.toString(int i, int radix)
specific values: Byte.toString()-> String.valueOf(127)-> Integer.toString(127, 10)

..the thing to understand here is that everytime you make a call to the "Byte.toString()", you get a new instance of
"String" with the same value (127 to be specific)..

what happens in Integer.toString() is evident in the return statement shown here
Integer.toString(int i, int radix){
...
...
...
return new String(some stuff);
}

so,it is obvious that they(1st call to "b1.toString()" and 2nd call to "b1.toString()") are not the same. I have tried to illustrate this by tweaking your code a bit


1: Byte b1 = new Byte("127");
2: String s = b1.toString();
3: String s1 = b1.toString();
4: if(s == s1)
5: System.out.println("True");
6: else
7: System.out.println("False");


s is one instance of "String" class
s1 is another instance "String" class

so if you ask a question is (s==s1)?
the answer would be "NO"(or false) as they are pointing to different locations

hope this helps.
