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.
