What is the difference between Equals() and == in C#?

Question

Ponu Maurya · Answer

Answer:
==: Compares reference for reference types (unless overloaded).Equals(): Compares value (default is reference, but can be overridden).
string a = "hello";
string b = string.Copy(a);
Console.WriteLine(a == b);       // True (content comparison for string)
Console.WriteLine(a.Equals(b));  // True 
For custom types, override Equals() and GetHashCode() for value comparison.
