Here is what's right.
The toString() method is declared in class java.lang.Object, and thus inherited by java.lang.String (a subclass of java.lang.Object). As such, it’s perfectly legal to invoke toString() on a String object. The result will be the object itself, so the invocation is really unnecessary:
String s = ...;
assert s.toString() == s;Language
