Using IF statement to control return statements.

Every .class file has it's own String pool?
So would this be false:

class A {
    String hello = "Hello";
}

class B {
    String hello = "Hello";
}

class Main {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println(new A().hello == new B().hello);
    }
}

No, every single .class file has its own area of literal Strings; the class loader loads these Strings in the single String pool. So your example prints "true". There is a restriction to that single pool: Strings have to be shorter than 64K chars and every single area in a .class file can 'only' contain as much as 65K Strings. (not much of a restriction, but nevertheless ...)

kind regards,

Jos
