What is the difference between Equality Operator ( == ) and Equals() Method in C#?

Here is the difference between the equality operator (==) and the Equals() method in C#:

Equality Operator (==)

• The equality operator (==) compares the values of two operands.
• For value types (e.g., int, double, char), it compares the actual values stored in the variables.
• For reference types (e.g., string, arrays, classes), it compares the references (memory addresses) of the objects, not their contents.
• If the operands are of different types, the == operator returns false.

Equals() Method

• The Equals() method is a virtual method inherited from the Object class.
• It can be overridden in derived classes to provide custom comparison logic.
• For value types, the default implementation of Equals() uses the == operator for comparison.
• For reference ty...
