Again, Java automatically creates a new String object whenever it encounters text within double-quote marks.

Thus, the code:

String str1 = “Hello World”; accomplishes three things:

1. It creates str1 as a reference to a String.

2. It creates an instance of a String. 3. It initializes that String to “Hello World”.

This is inconsistent with how Java

treats standard objects.

With standard objects, you must explicitly:
instantiate (via new), and

initialize (via a constructor).
