Equals() method and equality operator (==) are used for comparing objects in Java. However, they differ in their functionality. Equals() method is used to compare the contents of two objects, while the equality operator (==) is used to compare the references of two objects.
When we use the equality operator (==) to compare two objects, it checks if both objects refer to the same memory location. On the other hand, when we use the Equals() method, it checks if the contents of the two objects are equal.
