String s = new String(“xyz”). How many objects has been made after this line of code execute?

Question

The commonly agreed answer to this interview question is that two objects are created by the code. But I don\'t think so; I wrote some code to confirm.

Answer 1

If we execute String s = new String("Brajesh"); , two objects shall be created. One object will be created in string literal pool and another one in heap area. But if we have already same string literal object, then only one object is created. like

String s1  ="Brajesh"; 
String s = new String("Brajesh");//it will create only one object in heap area

Apart from this one additional object is also created in heap area that is char[]'s object. I have attached here snapshot of heap memory.
