I shouldn’t do ` string s = new string (“a new string”)` In Java, even automatic string practice?
Well, this problem is an extension of this problem
Java Strings: “String s = new String(“silly”);”
The above question raises the same question as this one, but I have a new doubt
According to effective Java and the answers to the above questions, we should not do string s = new string ("a new string");, Because that creates unnecessary objects
I'm not sure about this conclusion, because I think Java is executing automatic string interning, which means that for a string, it only has one copy in memory anyway
So let's look at string s = new string ("a new string")
"New string" is already a string created in memory
When I execute string s = new string ("a new string");, Then s is also "a new string" So according to the automatic string practice, s should point to the same memory address of "new string", right?
So how do we say we create unnecessary objects?
Solution
String a = "foo"; // this string will be interned
String a = "foo"; // this string will be interned String b = "foo"; // interned to the same string as a boolean c = a == b; //this will be true String d = new String(a); // this creates a new non-interned String boolean e = a == d; // this will be false String f = "f"; String g = "oo"; String h = f + g; //this creates a new non-interned string boolean i = h == a // this will be false File fi = ...; BufferedReader br = ...; String j = br.readLine(); boolean k = a == j; // this will always be false. Data that you've read it is not automatically interned
