Creating a new java.lang.String
object using the default constructor wastes memory because the object so created will be functionally indistinguishable from the empty string constant ""
.
Java guarantees that identical string constants will be represented by the same String
object. Therefore, you should just use the empty string constant directly.
String a = new String("");
String a = "";
