Strings and other objects that can't be changed are said to be immutable. What does this mean and how does it relate to values held in memory addresses?

What will be an ideal response?


In Java, the value of a String is fixed after the String is created; Strings are immutable, or unchangeable. When you write someString = "Hello"; and follow it with someString = "Goodbye";, you have neither changed the contents of computer memory at the address represented by someString nor eliminated the characters "Hello". Instead, you have stored "Goodbye" at a new computer memory location and storedthe new address in the someString variable.
