String is not a primitive data type. Java.lang package provides the String class therefore, it is an object type. You can create a string variable directly like any other variables as −
String s = "myString";

By instantiating the string class using the new keyword as −
String s = new String("myString");Example
import java.util.Scanner;
public class StringExample {
public static void main(String args[]){
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a sting value:");
String str = sc.nextLine();
