Java simple string print

Question

Is there a more computationally-efficient way to write a simple constant string than this:

private void parseLabel(FileOutputStream asciiout) {
    asciiout.write(new String("Label: ").getBytes());
}

Seems that the alternative would be to allocate a byte array, put the string in the byte array, and then print the byte array...thought there would be something more direct.

You can avoid a string creation: asciiout.write("Label: ".getBytes()); — assylias

I have good memories of my 486dx2-66. It had a turbo button and I could download games from a BBS :-) — Leo

cache those bytes instead of creating String instance everytime — Jigar Joshi

Depends on the use case, and it's also worth questioning whether or not you need this to be more efficient. Premature optimization is evil — cactus1

All valid comments. @Leo, Yes, 486-DX2-66 was my first computer. Remember lordsoth.happypuppy.org? — 486DX2-66
