# How many ways we can create the string object?

There are two ways to create String object:

**1)By string literal**

```
String s="welcome"; 
```

Each time you create a string literal, the JVM checks the string constant pool first. If the string already exists in the pool, a reference to the pooled instance is returned. If string doesn't exist in the pool, a new string instance is created and placed in the pool.\
\
**2)By new keyword**In such case, JVM will create a new string object in normal(non pool) heap memory and the literal "Welcome" will be placed in the string constant pool. The variable s will refer to the object in heap(non pool).\
\

```
String s=new String("Welcome")
```
