GARBAGE COLLECTION

[durga krishna]

Hi all
I wanna know how many objects are eligible for gc after line 2.
String a=new String("sample");
a=a.toLowerCase();//line 2.
My answer is none..AS tolowercase returns the same obj as it is unmodified...am i right?
please explain
durga.

hi durga..
yes u r right.. in fact.. toUpperCase() also returns the same object if the original string is in all capitals.
