Yes, it is possible but most probably not.

This is a bug in Java since If I write the following line they don't compile:

String newStr = null (compiles successfully)
String newStr1 = Null (does not compiles)
String newStr2 = NULL (does not compiles)
String newStr3 = abcd (does not compiles)

I don't understand while String newStr = null compiles while any other values don't compile.

Java is case sensitive. null is a keyword but Null and NULL are not. Neither is abcd. So, the compiler thinks that Null, NULL, and abcd are variable names.

Also, pay close attention to the error message. It will tell you exactly what the compiler is thinking.

Are you following any book?

Did something go wrong here?

Look for correct/green answer and the explanation:

and true for newStr.equals(myStr)

I have the same concern as you.
It's strange that admin hasn't responded to this for more than 7 years.

I am not sure what is the issue.
