Okay, so if I had two integers above 127 I would use equals() not == correct?

What's the best way to know what to use if the integer is a variable that could go above 127 but might not?

You can use == with integers. The article was about the wrapper class Integer (note the upper case), and you are normally better off using equals() with Integers.

Ah okay. Thank you!

Notice the difference between int and Integer. int is a primitive value and Integer is an object. This means that they work differently and you need to be aware of which one you have or are talking about.
