Questions about Strings

[Joerg Waldmann]

When using this :

String s = new String("abc");

Is then "abc" in the String Pool, or just the String Object on the heap?

And another Question:

Is the memory in the String Pool freed by the Garbage Collector, too?

abc is kept in the string pool and at thesame time it is kept in the heap as the string object, anyways I could be wrong, and as of the gabage collection no idea but I guess if no reference to the string in pool it is to be gabbage collected

Hi,
Garbage Collector doesn't collect the strings which are in String pool.They will be in pool only when there is no reference also.

correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,
