I have a very basic question regarding strings in Java..I am not getting the clear explanation any where..
1. When the string is created with new operator, will it be stored only on heap or on both heap and string pool??
2. When I create a string like
s1="123";
s2=s1+"5";
What would happen at the second step??
a. will it put 1235 in the string literal pool??
b.Will it create a new string 5 in the literal pool??

please answer buddies.
