I have been doing the courses, for 2 weeks now. They are very good. I have no regrets. www.jpassion.com is an alternative that is worth considering.

I have subscribed to them and am going through the material. I share your concern about the giving them the credit card information and will take steps to ensure that my bank is notified that the subscription is only for 1 year.

Congratulations. I'm so sorry to hear about your misfortunes. Unfortunately, these things do happen but what is most important is that you never allowed it to deter you from your goal. Chin up!

String s1="abc"; String s2="ab"; String s3=s2+"c"; //1 String s4="abc"; String s5 = s2.concat("c "); //2

The anonymous string object "c" in lines 1 and 2 is the same. The object is a string literal. String literal is placed in the string constant pool, on the heap, by the JVM. Each time a literal is encountered, the pool is checked to determine if it exists. If it exists, it is reused. Otherwise a new one is created and placed in the pool.

The anonymous string object "c" is created at line 1. At line 2, when it is encountered the pool will be checked. Since it exists it will be reused.

BTW, the code will not compile because a } is missing.
