I want to ask a question. when does type checking happen in Array at Compile time or the Runtime? https://www.baeldung.com/java-generic-array An important difference between arrays and generics is how they enforce type checking. Specifically, arrays store and check type information at runtime. Then, this should work fine. int[] firstArray = {"hello", "hello2"}; But, this gives Compile time error. Why?

When we use the (==) operator java compares the value of the variables basically it checks whether the variables are pointing to the same object or different. No Akash the, Equal to (==) does not compare that variable is pointing to the same operator it just compares the value itself. String firstString = "Bunny" ; String secondString = "Bunny" ; Both the firstString and secondString have equal values of the address i.e. a Hexadecimal value, but saying they are pointing to the same object or different means also the same.
