1. String s="";s points to the empty string--the String object containing no characters.
String s="ABC"s points to the String object containing the characters "ABC"
String s; Declares String reference varialbe s. Doesn't not assign it any value. If it's a local variable, it won't have a value until you explicitly assign it. If it's a member variable, it will be given the value null when the enclosing object is created.
String s="ABC";Already covered above.
or String s=null;s does not point to any object.
String s="ABC";???
You've already asked this twice.
Are you talking about doing
String s = null;
String s = "ABC";right after each other?
You can't do that. You can only declare a variable once.
If you mean
String s = null;
s = "ABC";It just does what I described above, one after the other.
2. Object anyObject;
anyObject-new Object();
and
Object anyObject=null;
anyObject=new Object();As above: In the first case, its value is undefined until the new Object line if it's a local, or it's null if it's a member.
As for which is better, it depends what you're doing.
