What is String pool in Java?

Question

Can anyone help me understand what is String Pool in Java? And what exactly it does?

Answer 1

Basically, it is a method to compare the strings which will print the value as true even without the use of the equals method. You can take the below example as a reference:

String s = "a" + "bc";

    String t = "ab" + "c";

    System.out.println(s == t);

I hope this will help.
