K&B book looks to me that it is an error

[Mohit Goyal]

K&B pg 355
the fig for step 3 shud show the object with the value "def" on the heap
although no object is reffering to it.
Pg 356
the fig for step 2 shud show the object with the value "Rules!" on the heap
although no object is reffering to it.
Pg 358
the fig for step 2 shud show the object with the value "Rules!" on the heap
although no object is reffering to it.

That's because they're not on the heap but in the string pool.
So there's no error on these pages.

[Mohit Goyal]

Well the other steps in the figure also involve strings in the pool as no new keyword is used

[Mohit Goyal]

Found another one
K&B pg 380 table 6.3 cont.
Classes Boolean & Character also have an overloaded static toString method that take the respective primitive

String s = "abc";
String s2 = s;
s = s.concat("def");

I agree with Mohit. It seems "def" is missing on the Fig6-1 (as well as "Rules" missing on Fig6-2,Fig6-3) since it is also another String object created.
