Line 1 creates two, one referred to by x and the lost String "xyz". Line 2 creates one (for a total of three). Line 3 creates one more (for a total of four), the concatenated String referred to by x with a value of "xyzabc".
public class WrapTest
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
int result = 0;
short s = 42;
Long x = new Long("42");
Long y = new Long(42);
Short z = new Short("42");
Short x2 = new Short(s);
Integer y2 = new Integer("42");

if (x.equals(y) ) /* Line 15 */
result = result + 10;
if (x.equals(z) ) /* Line 17 */

Line 13 fails because == compares reference values, not object values. Line 15 succeeds because both String and primitive wrapper constructors resolve to the same value (except for the Character wrapper). Lines 17, 19, and 21 fail because the equals() method fails if the object classes being compared are different and not in the same tree hierarchy.
public class BoolTest
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
int result = 0;
Boolean b1 = new Boolean("TRUE");
Boolean b2 = new Boolean("true");
Boolean b3 = new Boolean("tRuE");
Boolean b4 = new Boolean("false");
if (b1 == b2) /* Line 10 */
result = 1;
if (b1.equals(b2) ) /* Line 12 */
result = result + 10;
if (b2 == b4) /* Line 14 */
result = result + 100;
if (b2.equals(b4) ) /* Line 16 */
result = result + 1000;
if (b2.equals(b3) ) /* Line 18 */
result = result + 10000;
System.out.println("result = " + result);
}
}
Line 10 fails because b1 and b2 are two different objects. Lines 12 and 18 succeed because the Boolean String constructors are case insensitive. Lines 14 and 16 fail because true is not equal to false.
public class ObjComp
{
public static void main(String [] args )
{
int result = 0;
ObjComp oc = new ObjComp();
Object o = oc;
if (o == oc)
result = 1;
if (o != oc)
result = result + 10;
if (o.equals(oc) )
result = result + 100;
if (oc.equals(o) )
result = result + 1000;
System.out.println("result = " + result);
}
}
Even though o and oc are reference variables of different types, they are both referring to the same object. This means that == will resolve to true and that the default equals() method will also resolve to true.
Math.round() adds .5 to the argument then performs a floor(). Since the code adds an additional .5 before round() is called, it's as if we are adding 1 then doing a floor(). The values that start out as integer values will in effect be incremented by 1 on the round() side but not on the ceil() side, and the noninteger values will end up equal.
