why string is not compare using double equal sign [closed]

	Why string is not comparable using ==. Why we must use isEqualToString for compare two strings. Thanks in advance asked 5 mins ago

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

	becouse with == you compare the object references and with equalsIgnoreCase() the values of the String objects. answered 3 mins ago

The way the == operator works in java is as follows: Compare values for primitive types, such as doubles, ints, etc. Compare the location in memory for objects (in other words, it has to be the same object it can't just look the same at a given moment). Since String is an object and not a primitive type, the latter rule applies. Here is the source: http://stevenrbrandt.com/cios/index.php/strings.xml Hope it helps. answered 1 min ago
