In kotlin how to create a String say “hello” twice in heap memory? In java, we do this with the help of ‘new’ keyword : new String(“hello”)

The Kotlin equivalent of

new String("hello")

would be

String("hello")

, but I think Kotlin prevented this by not providing this constructor. Why would you want to do that, though?

If you want to call the Java constructor you could write

java.lang.String("hello") as String

But don’t 😄

You could also work around this by going through the byte array:

String("hello".encodeToByteArray())

But don't 😄

Learning purpose I am noob would be better answer
