string

[arivu mathi]

Sting s = new string("abc");
a new string object is created by the above statement.

String s = "abc";
does this statement also create a new string object or it is refering to a object in the string pool?

definately you can use static and native modifier are used to load any native files they may be required to run the program.

hi i happened to answer the wrong question
the answer to yours question is that when we write String a=new String("abc");
a new String object is created. And when we write String b="abc"; the jvm searches in string pool and if a String object containing abc is present then it returns the reference to that string and if not present it creates a new String object and adds it to the pool and returns a reference to that obect.
Here is an example which will clear your doubt
public static void main(String a[])
{
String a=new String("abc");
String b="abc";
String c="abc";
System.out.print(a==b);//prints false
System.out.print(a==c);//prints false
System.out.print(c==b);//prints true
System.out.print(a.equals(b));//prints true
System.out.print(a.equals(c));//prints true
System.out.print(c.equals(b));//prints true
}

Earlier when I check this thread the Name of this thread was "static", but now it has been changed to "String".

Could you please justify.

No you answered the correct question There was a topic about "static" and "native". The bulletin board seems to be a little confused and mixing stuff up today - we are investigating the problem.

[Rohit Suman]

yes i think so when i got the question of static and native i posted the reply for that and the answer to that question appeared somewhere else.
