Here's a quick "gotcha" about which you might not have known. Consider the following code:

Integer i1 = 200;
Integer i2 = 200;
String s = (i1 == i2) ? "equal" : "not equal";
System.out.println(s);

What is the output? That's an easy one, right? The output is not equal because, although these Ineger objects contain the same int value, they refer to different objects. Consider the following modification to the code, however.

Integer i1 = 75; // <--- changed
Integer i2 = 75; // <--- changed
String s = (i1 == i2) ? "equal" : "not equal";
System.out.println(s);

So, what's the output now? You can probably guess from the tone that it's probably not what you'd expect. Give up? The output is equal! So what the heck is going on here? Well, it turns out that, in order to save memory, two instances of the following wrapper objects will be == if their values are equal:

I thought that was kind of interesting.
