I'm going to quote Alan's excellent lead-in here:

String
public String(byte[] bytes)
Constructs a new String by decoding the specified array of bytes using
the platform's default charset. The length of the new String is a function
of the charset, and hence may not be equal to the length of the byte array.
The behavior of this constructor when the given bytes are not valid in
the default charset is unspecified. The CharsetDecoder class should be used
when more control over the decoding process is required.
Parameters:
bytes - the bytes to be decoded into charactersSince:
JDK1.1
This is from the (rather misleading) Java API docs, url:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#String(byte[])
This is a RETARDED QUESTION, esp. after being pointed to the API docs in the
first place. I'm going to pretend you're a troll, so pretend your killfiled.
Your name's not Tim, is it?
