String classes

String is immutable:

String s="hello";

s+="bfgkjdf";

Now the value of s is changed.. then how string is immutable?please explian it clearly

You are creating a new String object"hellobfgkjdf" and substituting that for the original String. The two Strings "hello" and "bfgkjdf" still exist, but are unreachable because their references are changed.

because s is not a string. it is a REFERENCE to a string. The String object "hello" still exists unchanged, but you no longer have a reference variable pointing to it.

It is similar to having an address card that points to a house. you can change the address written down on the card, but the original house is unchanged.

That was because you added an unrelated question to an old thread.

You should know the String class was defined as public final class String.
