problem with the same data type and class

[harsh garg]

why String (data type and class) of java have the same name?no other data type like this in java?

String is not a datatype. It's just a class. It just have some special treatment by the compiler because of which you can write this

String s = "Hello World";

The compiler internally converts this into

String s = new String("Hello World");
