Re: why String objects get created without new and constructor

Posted by Kishori Sharan on November 30, 2000 at 4:30 PM

Use of String class is so frequent in java that Java Creator gave us a shortcut to create a String object without using new operator. That's it.
String str = "abc" ;
and
String str = new String ( "abc" ) ;
are same. ( In fact there is some differences in two statements, but I am not going to mention those because you didn't ask for that ) .

Thanx
