    Post Meaning of String or immutable class

    this is my code :

    String name = "Mohan";

    String is a immutable class and where these character stored when we assign some character.

    How the logics are working inside the String class.

    Please advise and thanks for the valuable reply .

    I'm not really sure what your question is. What exactly are you confused about? Have you tried googling something like "java immutable"?

    I still don't really know what you're asking.

    Are you asking what the internals of the String class look like? If so, consult the source that comes with the JDK.

    Explain this:
    i tried decoder of String class and i am not able to get home the character [Mohan] assigned in that variable
    If there is code involved, please post it with your explanation. For example,

    System.out.println( name );

    will print the String "Mohan" to the console (or standard out), but I'm not sure that's what you mean.

    Where the actual UTF-8 character bytes are stored by a running VM is implementation specific. Typically, immutable objects are stored in a special part of the memory reserved by the VM for use by all threads, but this is not defined by the language spec. It could just as well be on the heap.

    Now, String is a bit special, as it has qualities associated with primitives even though it is a class. This was for convenience.
