title: Why won't "5".equals(5) evaluate to true? Aren't they both they same, both being 5?
body: <p>I am new to Java and was wondering why "5".equals(5) evaluate to true meaning both are a 5 and in my eyes seem to be the same thing (they seem equal to me) so why won't it evaluate it to true? </p>
  
  <p>I am thankful for any help :) </p>
