Okay,

The question was basically, what's the difference between

String title;
title = new String ("hello");

and

String title;
title = ("hello");

I was just confused why my textbook was showing me the first way when the second way works just fine. It later mentioned the second way and said it was fine to only use it that way.

If I understand correctly, only the String class can work in this way and every other class requires the "new operator"... Correct?
