C#: Creates two string-objects with different value

C# Sharp String: Exercise-39 with Solution

Write a C# Sharp program to create two string objects with different values.
When it calls the Copy method to assign the first value to the second string, the output indicates that the strings represent different object references. However, their values are now equal. On the other hand, when the first string is assigned to the second string, the two strings have identical values. This is because they represent the same object reference.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;

class Example39
{
    public static void Main() 
    {
        string s1 = "JAVA"; // Original string s1
        string s2 = "Python"; // String s2

        Console.WriteLine("s1 = '{0}'", s1); // Display s1 value
        Console.WriteLine("s2 = '{0}'", s2); // Display s2 value

        Console.WriteLine("\nAfter String.Copy..."); // Display message for String.Copy
        s2 = String.Copy(s1); // Copy contents of s1 to s2
        Console.WriteLine("s1 = '{0}'", s1); // Display updated s1 value
        Console.WriteLine("s2 = '{0}'", s2); // Display updated s2 value
        Console.WriteLine("ReferenceEquals: {0}", Object.ReferenceEquals(s1, s2)); // Check reference equality
        Console.WriteLine("Equals: {0}", Object.Equals(s1, s2)); // Check value equality

        Console.WriteLine("\nAfter Assignment..."); // Display message after assignment
        s2 = s1; // Assign s1 to s2
        Console.WriteLine("s1 = '{0}'", s1); // Display updated s1 value
        Console.WriteLine("s2 = '{0}'", s2); // Display updated s2 value
        Console.WriteLine("ReferenceEquals: {0}", Object.ReferenceEquals(s1, s2)); // Check reference equality
        Console.WriteLine("Equals: {0}", Object.Equals(s1, s2)); // Check value equality
    }
}

Sample Output:

s1 = 'JAVA'                                                                                                   
s2 = 'Python'                                                                                                 
                                                                                                              
After String.Copy...                                                                                          
s1 = 'JAVA'                                                                                                   
s2 = 'JAVA'                                                                                                   
ReferenceEquals: False                                                                                        
Equals: True                                                                                                  
                                                                                                              
After Assignment...                                                                                           
s1 = 'JAVA'                                                                                                   
s2 = 'JAVA'                                                                                                   
ReferenceEquals: True                                                                                         
Equals: True
