 Q1. In Java, if object A contains same the same data of object B, are they equal?Core Java
Ans. it depends on the implementation of equals method of the respective class. If no definition is provided and it uses the default definition of the object class, two references are equal only if they point to the same object.

We can have such an equality defined for a particular class objects if we provide appropriate implementation of equals method comparing all those fields.
