In Java the == compares two objects by identity. If you want to
compare two objects by value you must use the equals() method.
Comparing two Strings thus becomes: stringA.equals(stringB). It is
possible to use == with strings but it requires a good understanding
of how they work internally and a good understanding of the notion of
String interning. It's also very easy to get wrong :) Note that one of
the first things equals() does is check if the two objects have the
same identity (using ==).
