Task condition
This example demonstrates how the == operator and the equals() method work when checking string equality in Java.
String first = "123";
String second = "123";
String third = new String("123");
System.out.println(first == second);
System.out.println(first == third);
System.out.println(first.equals(second));
System.out.println(first.equals(third));
