Objects and References

Equality with References to Objects:

Box box1 = new Box(8, 5, 7);

Box box2 = new Box(8, 5, 7);

System.out.println(box1 == box2);

// prints false// does box1 reference the same

// object referenced by box2?

System.out.println

(box1.equals(box2));

// prints true

// does box1 reference an object

// having the same contents as// the object referenced by box2?
