java - How does the new operator create a new object? - Stack Overflow
Explain the following: New operator
New operator in Java 8: The Enterprise Operator
This is obviously fake. There is no way one could write even the most trivial bit of enterprise code in less then six million characters.

I've just started learning java, and i'm not very familiar with the concepts of objects, i just started learning about taking in inputs in java and using scanner within the process. One thing I don't understand after I declare a variable and say it belongs in the class of a Scanner, why do i have to initialize it and type in "new Scanner(System.in)". I understand that the system.in used to get bytes from the keyboard but I don't understand why we have to use the new keyword and also Scanner after that.
EDIT : Thanks a lot for all the help everyone, i've now got pretty good understanding of the "new" keyword.
new, the specified Type (SomeClass), the brackets () and possibly arguments etc. are part of one expression, according to the JLS "Class Instance Creation Expressions".
So it does not make sense to separate new and the parts of the expression.
(But the arguments to the constructor are evaluated after memory allocation but before the call to the constructor.)
Yes. It does invoke the constructor of the object. Instantiating a Class as explained in Object creation:-
The new operator instantiates a class by allocating memory for a new object and returning a reference to that memory. The new operator also invokes the object constructor.
The new operator requires a single, postfix argument: a call to a constructor. The name of the constructor provides the name of the class to instantiate.
