Is it just a char array?
Containers are the interface between a component and the low-level, platform-specific functionality that supports the component. Before it can be executed, a web, enterprise bean, or application client component must be assembled into a Java EE module and deployed into its container.
Strings are stored on the heap area in a separate memory location known as String Constant pool. String constant pool: It is a separate block of memory where all the String variables are held. String str1 = "Hello"; directly, then JVM creates a String object with the given value in a String constant pool.
Strings, which are widely used in Java programming, are a sequence of characters. In the Java programming language, strings are objects. The Java platform provides the String class to create and manipulate strings.
String [] arguments is a java array of String objects. This means that the main function expects an array of Strings. This array of strings typically holds all command line parameter arguments passed in when the program is run from the command line.
Yes, plus some meta-data, like a start and end index (because that char array can be shared across strings, for example, when you create substrings).
Looking at the source for java.lang.String
, you see the following instance fields:
/** The value is used for character storage. */
private final char value[];
/** The offset is the first index of the storage that is used. */
private final int offset;
/** The count is the number of characters in the String. */
private final int count;
/** Cache the hash code for the string */
private int hash; // Default to 0
