String based Java Interview questions and answers
Difference between String, String Builder, and String Buffer. Ans: String: String variables are stored in “constant string pool”. Once the string reference changes the old value that exists in the “constant string pool”, it cannot be erased. Example: String name = “book”; Constant string pool . If the name value has changed from “book” to “pen”. Constant string pool Then the older value retains in the constant string pool. String Buffer: Here string values are stored in a stack. If the values are changed then the new value replaces the older value. The string buffer is synchronized which is thread-safe. Performance is slower than the String Builder. Example: String Buffer name =”book”; Once the name value has been changed to “pen” then the “book” is erased in the stack. String Builder: This is same as String Buffer except for the String Builder which is not threaded safety that is not synchronized. So obviously performance is fast.
