How java create objects implicitly? Like in case of String class

Question

I can\'t understand how an object is created implicitly.

Example:

String s = \"implicit instantiation\";

Can I make my own class w

Answer 1

Unfortunately you just can not do that!

opposite to C or C++ you can not overload any operator in java language, so there is no possible way to do something like

Foo myFoo = 1

in the case of the string class:

String s = "implicit instantiation"

that is sugar sintax for the developers, behind the scenes is the compiler doing the "dirty" work and doing something like (remember there is a string pool):

String s = new String("implicit instantiation")

The same applies for some other Types like Arrays, or wrapper for numbers...
