Let me create a comprehensive, student-friendly tutorial for this topic.Here's the complete interactive tutorial for your students! It covers everything in one place:
Section 1 — The two types of String creation and what each does internally.
Section 2 — The interactive step-by-step memory diagram. Students can click each step (aBeg through f) and watch the String Pool and Heap zones fill up in real time, with explanations at each step.
Section 3 — A reference table of == vs .equals() comparisons with clear reasons.
Section 4 — The object count comparison showing why adding aBeg doesn't change the total from 4.
Section 5 — The intern() trick for advanced students.
Section 6 — The golden rules to remember.
The step-by-step visualizer is particularly useful for classroom use — you can walk through it live and let students predict what will happen before clicking each step.
