What's the difference in this condition : STRING.equals("myValue") vs STRING == "myValue"?
<p>What's the difference in <code>STRING.equals("myValue")</code> vs <code>STRING == "myValue"</code>?</p>

<p>I first used <code>STRING == "myValue"</code> but my IDE recommends to switch to using <code>.equals()</code>.  Is there a specific benefit to doing this?</p>
