Number of string objects being created

[Arjun Reddy]

Hi all,

In the following two cases, how many string objects are being created?

1).String s=new String();
 
2).String s2=new String("hey");

Thanks.

1) 1 object
2) 2 objects (one in the String constant pool if there is no matching one for "hey" and one in the heap)
