I'm not sure if you have to instantiate a string or could you just say String ex = "this is a string" vs String ex = new String("this is a string").
#Do you always have to create an object for a string like String ex = new String(whatever))

"this is a string" is instantiating a string
new String("this is a string") is instantiating a string then instantiating another string by passing it to the String constructor

so new string
instantiates "this is a string"
and also instantiates ex
by passing "this is a string" to it?

how do you use a method

how would you call it to use it
and would it be different if the method was static vs nonstatic (like belonging to an object)

new String(...) instantiates a new string based on the data
making a string literal, "text", is also instantiating a new string

and would it be different if the method was static vs nonstatic (like belonging ...
yes, that changes where you access it from
wheat locust
how would you call it to use it
you just call it from the appropriate context
System.out.println access the println instance method of PrintStream, the type of System.out

Uhh like
What if you had an add function
For an object
How would you call it in another class
wheat locust
you would need an instance of that object, suppose it's in a variable called obj, then you would call it like obj.add(...)
