If the main() method is executed, what result will be displayed in the console? private static boolean areEqual(String s1, String s2) { return s1 == s2; } public static void main() { var s1 = new String("Abc"); boolean result = areEqual(s1, "Abc"); System.out.println(result); }

In this code, the areEqual method compares strings using the == operator, which in Java compares references, not the content of the strings.

In main, a new String object with the content "Abc" (s1) is created, and the second argument is the string literal "Abc".

Since s1 is a new object, and the literal is another object (stored in the string pool), the references will not match, and the result will be false.

Console output:

false

If you want to compare the content of strings, you should use the equals method:

return s1.equals(s2);
