any different using String = "" ,String = new("")?

[gmark]

question is as title.
It puzzled me.Is there different between two condition?

[Paul Stevens]

Yes String = new("") won't compile There is a difference between coding String a = "" and String a = new String(""). If you coded 10 of the first you still have 1 String. If you code 10 of the second you get 10 different String with the same value.

String has a special mechanism which is called String pool.
this is related to the String pool. Those two has different effects in terms of instances in the pool.
