Sorry quick simple question

Question

when implementing a simple branch , can i check the equality of strings to generate a boolean?
e.g.
string s1 = "large";
string s2 = "large";
if (s1 != s2)
{ do some code}
else
would the code in the "if" branch be executed???

Answer 1

If part will never be executed.
also "string" should be "String"
public class stringtest{
     public static void main(String args[]){
     String s1 = "large";
        String s2 = "large";
        if(s1.equals(s2)){
          System.out.println("They are equal");
        else{
          System.out.println("They are not equal");
}
