Comparing Integer and int with == [duplicate]

Question

List<Integer> test = List.of(955, 955);
if (test.get(1) == test.get(0))
...

Above condition results in false

List<Integer> test = List.of(955, 955);
int a = test.get(1);
int b = test.get(0);
if (a == b)
...

The above condition returns true.

Why is that the case? What is the difference between the snippets?

Answer 1

In one case, you're comparing two Integer object references. In the other case, you're comparing two ints. When using the == operator to compare object references, it will return False if they are not the same object, even if they do wrap the same value.
