For details on this topic, review the online Javadoc: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html

Strings are nice in Java. They get the benefits of being used like primitives but are internally Objects. There is an internal "interned String pool" that keeps track of String objects for you. This is done primarily for efficiency's sake but the abstraction is neat enough that you can pretend that a String is just a primitive like an int or a char.

Please remember to avoid creating a String manually using a constructor like you would most objects!
