When it comes to Strings , Java has a concept of string internalizing , or in short string interns.<br />
The JVM maintains a pool of strings . Whenever you assign a string literal(as in the second case) the string gets pooled . Next time someone wants to create another string with the same value , then the String object from the pool is used. It means new memory is not allocated , but the existing reference is used.<br />
<br />
But when you use the new() operator , new memory is allocated to the string , instead of using an already existing reference from the pool<br />
<br />
For this reason , String class has an intern() method , which &nbsp;will send a string to the pool . All this is for optimizing string memory due to the fact that strings are immutable.

Hi<br />
<br />
What is the difference between the following 2 statements:<br />
<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; String Str1 = new String(&quot;Welcome to Tutorialspoint.com&quot;);<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; System.out.println(Str1.le<wbr />ngth());<br />

Hi

What is the difference between the following 2 statements:


      String Str1 = new String("Welcome to Tutorialspoint.com");

      System.out.println(Str1.length());

And

String Str1="Welcome to Tutorialspoint.com";

      System.out.println(Str1.length());

String in Java

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Java

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.
