Doubt in Apress SCJP chapter 9 Question 8

[Divyeshh Patel]

8. Consider the following lines of code:
String s1 = "Whatever";
String s2 = new String("Whatever");
String s3 = new String ("Who");
Which of the following statements is true? (Choose all that apply.)
A. The compiler will create two strings Whatever and Who and put them in the pool, and
there will be a string Whatever and Who created at runtime.
B. The compiler will create two strings Whatever and Who and put them in the pool, and
there will be no string created at runtime.
C. The compiler will create two copies of Whatever and one copy of Who and put them in
the pool, and there will be strings Whatever and Who created at runtime.
D. The compiler will create one copy of Whatever and put it in the pool, and there will be
strings Whatever and Who created at runtime.
E. The compiler will create a string Whatever and put it in the pool, and there will be a
string Who created at runtime.

The given answer is A.
Just wondering if that is the correct answer (or how properly worded the question/answers are)

[Malatesh Karabisti]

Ya That is correct, As per my knowledge in java if we type some thing inside the double quote "String" this creates a new String constant in String Constant Pool, and new keyword creates a new Object in heap.

here there two string constants "Whatever" and "Who" and again at run time we have 2 new to create two strings in heap

I think that helps
