As I see, you have made several PR for equals change. Please wait for @ayushtkn and @deniskuzZ recommendation about the style. If it meets the community standard, I think this PR's could be 1 "big" does not need to separate to 10+ small.

equals() is used to check the object content, == does a comparision on the object reference. Using equals() is the right programming paradigm.

I did a small test for confirming the same for Double datatype - There is a difference -

Double do1 = 9.0;
Double do2 = 9.00;
System.out.println(do1 == do2); // Returns false
System.out.println(do1.equals(do2)); // Returns true

I agree with @aturoczy comment. Instead of creating small PRs for handling each of these minor details its better to handle it in a single PR. Its always better to group similar ones and post aggregated PRs on them.

@SourabhBadhya @aturoczy I didn't mean to overwhelm the repo with PRs. But still I prefer to have several atomic PRs because it's easier to complete each PR. As for equals(): it has some specifics for Strings and numbers. If both strings are interned (which I didn't check), it's ok to compare their values using ==

[SourabhBadhya]

@dk2k Please rebase your PR for the tests to pass.
