What is the difference between “text” and new String(“text”)?

Question

What is the difference between these two following statements?

String s = \"text\";

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

Answer 1

One simple way to understand the difference is below:-

String s ="abc";
String s1= "abc";
String s2=new String("abc");

        if(s==s1){
            System.out.println("s==s1 is true");
        }else{
            System.out.println("s==s1 is false");
        }
        if(s==s2){
            System.out.println("s==s2 is true");
        }else{
            System.out.println("s==s2 is false");
        }

output is

s==s1 is true
s==s2 is false

Thus new String() will always create a new instance.
