String s = String("hai");

I think in both cases there is only one object is created


String s = String("hai");



should be new String("hai")

s is only reference variable

correct me if iam wrong

This shall create only one Object and a reference to it. So guess its only 1 object!

String s ="hai";
One object is created, the string "hai". Variable s simply refers to it.

String s = String("hai"); is wrong. It should be String s = new String("hai");
Two objects are created. One is the string "hai" as in the first example and the other is a new string that was passed "hai" as an argument.

Every time you have a string in quotes ("xxx"), you are implicitly creating a new string object.

String s=new String("hai");
String s1="hai";
String s2="hai";

Just for your info, here only 2 objects and 3 references are created. s1 and s2 are string references which point to the same object "hai"
whereas s references a new "hai"

Hi,

is following code creates only string object

String s=new String("hai");
String s1=s.intern();
String s2=s.intern();

According to my understanding from the K&B book.

String s = "abc"; // creates one String object and one
// reference variable
In this simple case, "abc" will go in the pool and s will refer to it.

String s = new String("abc"); // creates two objects,
// and one reference variable

In this case, because we used the new keyword, Java will create a new String object in normal (non-pool) memory, and s will refer to it. In addition, the literal "abc" will
be placed in the pool.

Hi Gaurav,

i think u have misunderstood my question , I am taking about intern() method , from java API it was mentioned , that if we use intern method with string methods ( ie toLowerCase & toUpperCase etc) , it will check at string pool for existing string objects , if it presents then it will return the same without creating new one , correct me if iam wrong .


Thanks,
Siva Prakash

But you are still creating two objects in the first line, the "hai" in the pool, and the s object using the new keyword
