Answer / ravi

Guys please don't miss guide.

Karun you r absolutely right, but there is one big
difference between them

String s="vijay"; --> This is string literal

String s=new String("vijay"); --> String Object

Definitely first one gives the better performance than
second one, why because..

JVM maintains an internal list of references for interned
Strings( POOL of unique strings) to avoid duplicate string
objects in heap memory. when ever the JVM loads string
literals from class file and executes, it checks whether
that string exists in the internal list or not. If it is
already exists in the list then it does not create new
string and it uses the references to the existing String
object. JVM does this type by checking tinternally for
string literal but not for string object which it creates
through 'new' keyword

You can explicitly force the JVM todo this type of checking
for string objects which are created through 'new' keyword
using "String.intern()" method. This forces the JVM to check
the internal list and use the existing String object if it
is already present.

Answer / vijay

yes karun and ravi u both are right...!!
dear friends there is small difference b/w both string
declaration but both have create huge differences.

String s="vijay"; // string literal
that means it create one object and one reference and object
will be created in string pool.

String s= new String("vijay"); //string object
that means it create two object and one reference and one
object will be created in string pool and another on heap.

and difference what ravi want to say is ....if

String s="vijay";
String s1="vijay";
means here s and s1 both refer the same object whereas

String s=new String("vijay");
String s1=new String("vijay");
here these reference s and s1 refer refer 2-different
object.

that is why the first one give the better performance.

Answer / ramya

as kiran said in the first answer that the string created
in the heap memory can be changed,is it that the memory in
the heap can be changed.I read it as heap provides a stable
storage.Please clarify.Thanks in advance.

Answer / karun

In first statement String s = "vijay"

Means it will create a single instance and single reference
variable

but in second statement

String s = new String("vijay");

Means it will create a two instances and single reference
variable
