Why no "new" keyword needed when creating object in LocalDateTime in Java?

Hi quck question. Why no "new" keyword needed when creating object in LocalDateTime? exp: LocalDateTime rightNow = LocalDateTime.now(); System.out.println("current datetime : " + rightNow); But if we create an new Object of the class or object of StringBuilder we need to use new keyword exp ClassName refName = new Classname(); or StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); Thnaks in advance

LocalDateTime has a static method called now() that returns a LocalDateTime Object

new is a special keyword and when we use ' new' it do the following 3 steps 1. reads the class 2.invokes the constructors. 3.allocates the memory.
