[Vishal Hegde]

String s=new String("hello")


how does it create two objects? and does hello goes in string pool

[Brij Garg]

Yes,

hello goes to string pool and one more obect will be created on heap.

many time this topic is discussed here . do *search*

[Sriram Sharma]

Yes,

hello goes to string pool and one more obect will be created on heap

Hi Brij/Vishal,
I dont think the object will be created in the pool... Rather, only a reference will be placed in the literal pool.
So, ideally only one object is created and that is in the Heap.

Correct me if I am wrong!

Sriram

Hi,

String s=new String("hello")

by reference you mean s variable?

hello string literal will be placed in the string pool which is an object.

Let me know if I am not correct.

[Vedha Vishali]

Hi,

Yes Brij Garg is Correct.

Thanks,

But hello is an Object ,so it should be created in Heap itself,then why does in go into the string pool,

what is string pool actually,is it same as memory?

@Vishal Hegde : did you go through the link what Muhammad has given?

[Vishal Hegde]

yes i did ,in SCJP 6 its given that string literals go to pool and in that link its given that reference go to the pool which one is true
