Java Strings: “String s = new String(”silly“);”

Question

I\'m a C++ guy learning Java. I\'m reading Effective Java and something confused me. It says never to write code like this:

String s = new String(\"silly\");         


        

Answer 1

String is one of the special classes in which you can create them without the new Sring part

it's the same as

int x = y;

or

char c;
