Java String Exercises: Get the canonical representation of the string object

Java String: Exercise-20 with Solution

Write a Java program to get the canonical representation of the string object.

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

public class Exercise20 {
public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Create three strings in three different ways.
        String str1 = "Java Exercises";
        String str2 = new StringBuffer("Java").append(" Exercises").toString();
        String str3 = str2.intern();

        // Determine which strings are equivalent using the ==
        // operator (as compared to calling equals(), which is
        // a more expensive operation.
        System.out.println("str1 == str2? " + (str1 == str2));
        System.out.println("str1 == str3? " + (str1 == str3));
    }
}

Sample Output:

str1 == str2? false                                                                                           
str1 == str3? true
