Respected PROGRAMMERS,
Kindly tell me
String s= "God";
String k= "God";
then will both s and k be considered to be referring to the same String object?
Is there a single instance of String object?

String objects
Respected PROGRAMMERS,

Is there a single instance of String object?

Re: String objects
Sometimes the compiler will optimize things and use the same object.Is there a single instance of String object?
You can easily test if s==k and see if they are equal today.
Not something that you should assume will always be true.
Re: String objects
You can guarantee them to be the same object in memory by internalizing the strings. Other than that, there's no guarantee that they are (could be true, could not be true).

Re: String objects
Thank You SIR for the reply.
In my programs they turned out to be same,
that's why I asked this question.
Have a very lovely day
