Understanding Strings in Java

Strings in Java are objects that represent sequences of characters. Unlike primitive data types, strings are instances of the 'String' class, and they are immutable, meaning once a string is created, its value cannot be changed. Java provides two primary ways to create strings: using string literals and by creating String objects with the 'new' keyword. Strings are a fundamental part of Java programming, offering a wide range of methods for manipulation, comparison, and searching.
