+Most asked question during your interviews, different between
+
+```java
+String s1 = "abc";
+String s2 = new String("abc");
+```
+
+Here **s1** string is called as Java String Literal which is created in Heap Space and maintained in a shared memory pool, whereas **s2** string is regular Java String Object created in Heap memory and has nothing to do with shared memory.
+
+In the above scenario, **s1** is literal string and hence if there are same literals available in shared memory pool, then the same is preferred and no new instance is created unlike string **s2** since its an object, so everytime you create the same string object, it will always create a new String Object in memory making in less memory efficient. Refer to below diagram to understand in depth.
