String and new String("')

807569May 16 2006 — edited May 16 2006

Hi Friends,
Hope you all are doing good!

String str1 = new String ("abc");
String str2 = "bcd";

The first one is an object and the second one a variable.

Is the second one a primitive one?

How is the storage for both cases handeled?

I mean is it right to say that first one is stored on HEAP since all objects are stored on HEAP.

While the second is stored on STACK (But i think this is wrong and a bit confusing)..

Would appreciate any replies from your side

Thanks,
Vishal
