State whether the following is true or false:When String objects are compared using ==, the result is true if the Strings containthe same values.a.Falseb.True

Problem Breakdown

1. To determine if the statement about comparing String objects using == is true or false.
2. Understand the behavior of the == operator in the context of String comparison in programming.

Relevant Concepts

1. In many programming languages (such as Java and Python), == checks for reference equality rather than value equality.
2. This means it checks whether the two String objects reference (point to) the same memory location, not whether they contain the same sequence of characters.

Analysis and Detail

1. When two String objects are created with the same content but are distinct objects in memory, using == will return false.
2. To compare the actual values (contents) of two String objects, methods like .equals() in Java or == in Python can be used.

Verify and Summarize

Given that == checks for reference equality:

• If the String values are the same but the objects are different, == will yield false.
• The correct method for value comparison is not ==.

Final Answer

The statement is False. When String objects are compared using ==, the result is false even if the Strings contain the same values, as it checks for reference equality.
