Are String objects created in System.out.println Statement

[Hrishikesh Maluskar]

I want to know whether String objects created in System.out.println Statement or not.

String s1 = "spring ";
String s2 = s1 + "summer ";
s1.concat("fall ");
s2.concat(s1);
s1 += "winter ";
System.out.println("Ans="+s1 + " " + s2);

Uptil now whatever discussions we had on this topic were prior to the System.out.println Statement.

Thumb rule - Whenever concantination of strings are done , a new object is created.
So answer for your questions is Yes

[Hrishikesh Maluskar]

System.out.println("Ans="+s1 + " " + s2);

But in the above Statement how many Objects will be created.
According to me 3->
1. Ans=
2. " "
3. Entire Statement inside System.out.println.

I am not sure whether this is right or wrong..just want to confirm.

if a new object are created at every System.out.println() method does it mean that it does not check the string pool to see if the literal already exist

I think , Yes, Strings are created inside The System.out.print() statements ! You may have confusion , because , people thinks , whatever we write in side System.out.println(), flushes out !, It may flush out , but not Garbage Collected !

2 String objects will be created when the class is loaded that contains this line, with content "Ans=" and " ".

3 String objects will be created in the process to build the printed String.
str1 > "Ans=" + s1
str2 > str1 + " "
str3 > str2 + s2
