Name = "Santosh" and newName ="makar" according your code... Addendum What is your point actually?

In Java Strings are immutable, so reassignment actually causes the variable to point to a new instance of String rather than changing the value of the String String name = "Hemant"; String newName = "Santosh"; name = newName; //"Santosh" name = "makar" //"makar" So value of name and newName shall be "makar" and "Santosh" (newName remains unchanged) respectively

String object in a java is a reference type. Please read the chapter "Reference Types" again. They have clearly mentioned, "Arrays and Strings are also reference data types". Note: String also works in similar way of an Array.
