# 30) String

**String** is a sequence of characters, for e.g. “Hello” is a string of 5 characters. In java, string is an immutable object which means it is constant and can cannot be changed once it has been created. 

 Java String class is defined in `java.lang` package.

### Ways to Create a String Object:

#### Method 1: Using "new" keyword

```java
String nameOfSchoool = new String("DPS");
```

Execute below:

```java
package com.test.test1;
public class StringMethod1 {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String nameOfSchoool = new String("DPS");
		System.out.println(nameOfSchoool);
	}
}
```

**Method 2: Using "+" operator**

```java
String nameOfSchoool = "DPS";
```

Execute below:

```java
package com.test.test1;
public class StringMethod2 {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String nameOfSchoool = "DPS";
		System.out.println(nameOfSchoool);
	}
}
```

**Method 3: Using char\[ ] array and passing it to overloaded String constructor.**

```java
char[] nameOfSchoolArray = { 'D', 'P', 'S' };
String nameOfSchoool = new String(nameOfSchoolArray);
```

Execute below:

```java
package com.test.test1;
public class StringMethod3 {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		char[] nameOfSchoolArray = { 'D', 'P', 'S' };
		String nameOfSchoool = new String(nameOfSchoolArray);
		System.out.println(nameOfSchoool);
	}
}

```
