AP CSA Unit 1 Day 4: String vs. Equals With New String
Share
Advanced Practice Question
String s1 = "test";
String s2 = new String("test");
System.out.println(s1 == s2);
System.out.println(s1.equals(s2));This question tests your understanding of reference vs value. The correct answer demonstrates precise knowledge of how Java handles string == vs .equals() with new string.
Students often make errors with string == vs .equals() with new string by not carefully tracing execution or understanding the underlying concept.
This Cycle 2 HARD question requires careful attention to detail and understanding of how Java behaves in this scenario.
For questions testing string == vs .equals() with new string, always trace execution step-by-step. Write down intermediate values. Don't skip steps - the AP exam rewards precise understanding of Java behavior.
