The primitive datatypes are nothing but the basic data types..like int char float double etc..Char is a datatype which stores 2 bits of data..String has been derived from Char which takes more number of Char and integers..providing the more memory storage...Its not a primitive coz it is a basic datatype...Its advancement of char..So its not a primitive datatype

then how double is a primitive data type

its also derived for float so

pls clarify

There are two types of datatype 1. primitive 2. Object

I think String can also be primitive and Object type.

If u write String a rabbi ; then the String will be used as primitive datatype.

But If u write String a new String( rabbi ); then String will be used by Object datatype.

I think both:

String a abc ; and String a new String( abc );

are the same.

Strings are immutable so
String a abc ;
is same as
String a new String( abc );
 

yes u r right suri

thank u

The Main reason behind is that when we talk about primitive data type

Lets say for ex int i 5 it means in memory where we have i if we will access the contents there we will get the value 5.

But in case of a String when we say

String s abe ;

when we try to access the contents of s we get the address where we have abc .
