can we create an object for a class without using new keyword?how?/

Well, there are special cases like String, Array, and (with 5.0 autoboxing) wrappers. But for general cases, there's the Class class...

class MyClass {
  String s = "I am MyClass.";
}
 
class NoNew {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      Class c = Class.forName("MyClass");
      MyClass my = (MyClass)c.newInstance();
      System.out.println(my.s);
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
      System.out.println(e);
    }
  }
}

Note that "newInstance" is a method name in Class, so "new" is not being used as a keyword.
