Hi Naresh,

equals() method compare the content of two string whereas the == operator checks the reference of the string object.  

Please look at the below example

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace Hello
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            String str1 = "Hello";
            String str2 = "Hello";
            String str3 = "Hello1";

            Console.WriteLine(str1==str2);
            Console.WriteLine(str2==str3);

            String str4 = "Happy Learning";
            String str5 = "Happy Learning";

            Console.WriteLine(str4.Equals(str5));

            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        
    }
  
}

The Output will be :

True 

False 

True

The Equality Operator ( ==) is the comparison operator and the Equals() method in C# is used to compare the content of a string.

The Equals() method compares only content.
