a == "java"

[The_Nick]

Ok one more question related to this thread:
Why a=="java"; gives true?

The operator == checks whether or not the 2 variables point to the same object or not. "java" is not a reference variable to nothing is just the content. Why does it work that way?

Thanks in advance.

The actual content "java" is stored at a location, this location address is compared to a.
Please don't take it wrong way but the questions that you are asking are really basic. You should first study from a good book such as "Thinking in Java". It will help you a lot.
I can only give you brief explanation but you need a continuous development of concepts, which can be done only by reading a book.

thank you,
