Can anyone help me what is the difference between == operator and .equals() in Java? Why I cannot able to use == operator while comparing strings? Can anyone help me with this?

Basically, == operator helps you with the reference equality like both the objects are same or not whereas .equals() helps you with the value equality like both the objects are logically equal or not. 

I hope this will help.
