Explain why the result is "false"

Explanation / Answer

As you see, we are trying to compare two strings which are entered by the user using '=='.

Let me tell you that we can use '==' for primitive data type comparisions like int, long etc. or for object references.

When you are trying to compare two strings you can use strA.equals(strB).This would return true.

Here basically '==' checks if both objects point to the same memory location. In your case they both are different and are not pointing to the same memory location. As a reason it returns false.
