Strings are objects in Java, so why don't we use 'new' to create them?

In Java, class objects are created like-

MyClass a=new MyClass();

then how String class objects are created like-

String a="Hello";

What does this "Hello" does to create new object?

Answer 1

String a = "Hello" doesn't actually create a new object. Instead, when the compiler sees a string literal like "Hello", it adds the string to the string literal pool, from which it will be loaded later.
