Difference between a string and an array of characters

Question

How are these declarations different from each other?

String s=\"MY PROFESSION\";
char c[]=\"MY PROFESSION\";

What about the memory allocation

Answer 1

If you see the docs,

     String str = "abc";

is equivalent to:

     char data[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};  //  not 'abc'
     String str = new String(data);

More over String literals are very special in java

String is backed by a character array internally.
