Using Strings

Hallo,

Yes you have the difference between two.

String s ="Maruthi";

It creates a String containing "Maruthi", and a reference, s pointing to it.

String s1 = new String("Maruthi");

This creates a new String-object that points to a

String ("Maruthi"), and a reference s will be

pointing to the new String-object

So it will function the same, but the second option

s1 will get two references. ( don't worry).

Example:

There is another important issue..

String s1 = "Maruthi";

String s2 = "Maruthi";

String s3 = new String("Maruthi");

Now s1 == s2 ,its True

but s1 != s3, Its False

That is s1 and s2 references the same object, but s3 references another object.

Regards

Maruthi.
