Java equals vs Arrays equals

0 votes

I was working with arrays, but I really got confused with the following two concepts:

array1.equals(array2);
Arrays.equals(array1, array2);

Please explain if there is any difference between the two, or both works the same.

Here,

array1.equals(array2)meansarray1 == array2

That is, it checks whether both the arrays are same or not. While, 

Arrays.equals(array1, array2)

compares the contents of both the arrays.
