To be precise, it's a compilation error because s is already defined ;) But you mean what is stored in s for both definitions... Answer is: 8hello for both. They're equal because everything after the = is casted to string internally if you use a string type.

String s = 8 + "hello" casted in : "8" + "hello" = 8hello try this : s= 1 + 2 + 3 + 'h' +"ell" + 'o' + 1 + 2 + 3; can you explain why ?

@NimWing Yuan s=6hello123 Reason: '+' operator has same priority and associativity will be left to right. So it will be like 1+2=3, 3+3=6, 6+'h'='6h','6h'+'ell'='6hell' and so on....
