You can find more information on this in the below document with example. You can read the same to get idea on string. Oracle has awesome documentation for this. You can view many similar articles on its official site.

Hey hi ,
"String" is a sequence of characters. But in Java, string is an object. String class is used to create string object.
When 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 returns. If the string does not exist in the pool, a new String object instantiates, then is placed in the pool.For example:
String s="Hello";
String s1="Hello";
Here s, s1 point towards Hello , no new object is created.
Strings, which are widely used in Java programming, are a sequence of characters. In the Java programming language, strings are objects.
The Java platform provides the String class to create and manipulate strings.
While for most programming languages, “string’ is a sequence of characters, for Java string is an object
The string is a class built into the Java language defined in the Java.lang package. It symbolize character strings. Strings are ubiquitous in Java.
Strings are generally used in Java programming, or a sequence of characters. In the Java programming language, strings are objects. The Java platform provides a String class to create & manipulate strings in the right manner. The most common way to create string are:
String greeting = "Hello world!";
It encounters a string literal in your code, and compiler create a string object with its value in this case, “Hello world!”
You can create string objects with the help of a new keyword and constructor. String class has 11 constructors which allow you to provide initial values of the string using several sources, such as an array of characters.
public class StringDemo{
public static void main(String args[]){
char[] helloArray = { 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '.'};
String helloString = new String(helloArray);
System.out.println( helloString );
}
}
This would proceduce following result
hello.
