		System.out.println(string5==string6); //since string5 and string 6 are equal so true // both in same memory location
		//
		System.out.println(string6==string3); //since string3 and string 6 are two different obj so false
		System.out.println(string6==string1); //since string1 and string 6 are two different obj so false
		
		
		String string7 = "sri";
		String string8 = string7;
		System.out.println(string8==string7);
		System.out.println(string8==string1);
		System.out.println(string8==string3);
	}
}

Output EQUALS —— true true true == — true false false Imp One ——- true true false false true true false
