Java- Realine issue

Issue

Can someone explain to me why the following program is returning the false value, even when the user enters the correct string "Hello"?

import java.io.*; 

class Test{ 

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{ 
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); 
String str = br.readLine(); 
System.out.println(str == "Hello"); 
} 

}

Solution

• To make a comparison of String must use equals.

• System.out.println(str.equals("Hello")); 

• You normally use == to compare references references.

Thanks to Danimo for this tip.
