Is there an externally observable difference between following programs? public static String sayHello() {
return "Hello World!";
} public static void sayHello() {
return "Hello" + " World!";
}
Of course, there is! Just call the method twice:
assert sayHello() == sayHello();
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.
