Equals method is used to chekcing the two string Objects are same or not. if they are same then returns true value other wise false value.when we are using == operators strings are used as primitive data types.

"==" checks with identity of variable , if they are same whereas equals checks if both variables have same values. But in case of class objects equals and == behaves the same i.e as identity equator.
