I have a big doubt about whether the string constant pool is part of the run-time constants pool created in the method area of the JVM or if they are part of the heap. I have read multiple articles on Google and some say it's part of the heap while some say it's part of the run-time constant pool. Also, does the SCP consist of string literals in terms of objects? and if yes are they allowed to be garbage collected? Please guide me on the same for the clarity
