Hi Naresh, equals() method compare the content of two string whereas the == operator checks the reference of the string object. Please look at the below example using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace Hello { internal class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { String str1 = "Hello"; String str2 = "Hello"; String str3 = "Hello1"; Console.WriteLine(str1==str2); Console.WriteLine(str2==str3); String str4 = "Happy Learning"; String str5 = "Happy Learning"; Console.WriteLine(str4.Equals(str5)); Console.ReadLine(); } } } The Output will be : True False True
