Hai,
In my following code, the output i obtained is: false. Whereas
my expectation for output is true. I need ur suggestions and ideas.
StringBuffer's equals method returns true only when a StringBuffer
object is compared with itself. It returns false when compared with any
other StringBuffer, even if the two contain the same characters. This
is actually quite a sensible behavior. However, the meaning of equals
is unfortunately not defined very well, and it is inconsistently used
across the Java API, so this is a bit confusing.
To compare the String objects that are produced by the StringBuffer
objects in their current state, use s1.toString().equals(s2.toString())
instead.
