[ajug-members] creating strings

[ashish butani]

I think Strings are pooled by JVM for improving efficiency. By explicitly creating objects using the new operator you are indicating to the JVM to not use it from the pool.
 
For example if you have something like this
 
String a = "xyz";
String b = "xyz";
String c = new String("xyz");
 
In the above case, a new object is created for a and c but not for b. This is because b references to the same literal as a (i.e xyz).
