&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is there an externally observable difference between following programs? &lt;br /&gt;
public static String sayHello() {&lt;br /&gt;
  return &amp;quot;Hello World!&amp;quot;;&lt;br /&gt;
}&lt;br /&gt;
public static void sayHello() {&lt;br /&gt;
  return &amp;quot;Hello&amp;quot; + &amp;quot; World!&amp;quot;;&lt;br /&gt;
}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, there is! Just call the method twice:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;source lang=&amp;quot;java&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  assert sayHello() == sayHello();&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/source&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first version of the method passes the [[IdentityCheck]] test. The second does not. There are also other differences in [[MemoryAllocations]] as well as [[StringsUsedInConstantPool]].&lt;br /&gt;
