System.out.println(Integer.valueOf(5) == Integer.valueOf(5)); System.out.println(Integer.valueOf(500) == Integer.valueOf(500));

The output is 

true false

Why does the first line returns true but the second line returns false? What's the trick here since both are calling valueOf() on Integer class.

There's cached instances of low numbered Integer objects but not any of higher valued Integer objects.

If you didn't notice before, you are comparing objects, not ints.
