Hi Manish, String is not just another class in Java. There are a lot of special cases in String class. If you notice carefully, String is an Immutable class where as that's not true for Button or most of the other classes. Java compiler as well as '+' and '+=' operators convert quoted characters in to String. I believe Java designers wanted to treat Strings as close to primitive types as possible and hence some of the differences. Important to not that you are NOT calling a java.lang.String constructor when you type String s = "abc"; for example: String x = "abc"; String y = "abc"; refer to the same object. While String x1 = new String ("abc"); String x2 = new String ("abc"); refer to two different objects. Refer http://technical-interview.com/In_Java_You_can_create_a_String_object_as_below.aspx Thanks
