Hi Patricia

String s = new String("crispy");

Two. A string literal object "crispy" created in the string pool and a String Object in regular memory containing the characters "crispy"

String s = new Sring ("creme");
String w = "creme";

Two. A string literal "creme" created in the string pool. A String object in regular memory containing the characters "creme". 'w' will point to the existing string literal object which contains the same characters "creme"

StringBuffer s = new StringBuffer("CrispyCreme");
String s = "CrispyCreme";

Two. Same reason as above for "creme"
Whenever you see a string literal ie a string of characters in double quotes; a String literal will be created in the pool if one doesn't already exist.
The 'new' operator always creates a unique string object in regular memory.
Hope that helps.

Gee thanks everyone for your input. I felt i needed to ask simple straightforward questions -- after going through two mock exams.
