Object Superclass

AP Computer Science A· difficulty 3/5

public class Tag {
    private String label;
    public Tag(String l) { label = l; }
}
// ...
Tag t1 = new Tag("X");
Tag t2 = new Tag("X");
System.out.println(t1.equals(t2));

What is printed?

A
$false$
check_circle
B
$true$
C
$X$
D
$Compile-time error$

Explanation

Without overriding equals, Object's equals compares references; t1 and t2 are different objects, so it returns false.
