30. Ya got String, got StringBuffer - and now ya got StringBuilder!    coderanch.com

StingBuffer is like Vector. Most of the time the synchronization is unnecessary; when it is necessary, it's probably at the wrong level. (I.e. you probably need synchronization in a higher-level sync block, if you need it at all.) In most code the difference in performance is probably negligible. However since standard libraries sometimes need to be called many times in a ...

Sure ... The + operator to concatenate two String objects. The + operator appears innocent, but the code generated produces some surprises.

If I'm just concatenating two strings, is it ...

String is a rare class in Java. It's allowed to straddle the line between behaving as an object (using new() ) and behaving as a primitive )using direct assignment.

41. why dont we prefer to use StringBuffer    coderanch.com

They are different ways of representing String data, so the choice of when to use which depends on your circumstance. The core difference is, I would say, that String objects are immutable whilst StringBuffer objects are mutable. At a very simple level String is best when your data won't change. StringBuffer is best for runtime String concatenation (the compiler will take ...

StringBuffer has a performance advantage when you concatenate a lot of variable parts into one string.

48. Value of using StringBuffer for this example    coderanch.com

Yes - but only one entry, no matter how many times the code is called. The idea that we need to "keep the string literal pool as small as possible" really is not necessary in the vast majority of applications. (Unless maybe you're using String.intern() an awful lot for some reason.) It really isn't something Jared needs to worry about.

I suddenly get a new thought here. So assumed that making the string buffer synchronized was of no use which they realized in java 1.5 and going by same idiom we have vector.

StringBuilder javadoc API: "Where possible, it is recommended that this class be used in preference to StringBuffer as it will be faster under most implementations." Both StringBuilder and StringBuffer classes extend AbstractStringBuilder class. The methods of StringBuffer are synchronized. Naturally the above statement would make sense and expected. But the below test executed multiple times always gives faster execution times for ...

Being new to OO in general, comparing objects is a concept I've been struggling with, so this is a great question.

I believe that some code like this will be altered by the compiler: String myString1 = "add " + "all " + "these " + "bits " + "together"; //gets interpreted as: StringBuffer tempBuffer = new tringBuffer(); tempBuffer.append("add "); tempBuffer.append("all "); tempBuffer.append("these "); tempBuffer.append("bits "); tempBuffer.append("together."); and this is fine, since it's more efficient but happens under the covers so you ...

Strings are immutable, which means that you can not change their contents. This is very useful for things that represent "primitive" kinds of values, like numbers and strings and such. It allows you do to something like: String myString = "Hello World"; yourMethod( myString ); Because the string is immutable, I know that no matter how hard you try (or how ...

Reasons to use String instead of StringBuffer: 1. Many methods that take a String argument don't accept a StringBuffer argument. 2. The String class has many useful methods and constructors not available from StringBuffer. 3. String is handled very efficiently in terms of memory and execution time by most jvm's. Of course, objects that change often should be of class StringBuffer ...

The important thing to remember is that: line 1: String a = "1"; line 2: String b = "2"; line 3: a += b; causes the String object referenced by "a" to be dereferenced at line 3, and so eligible for garbage collection (which can be seen as a delayed overhead) and a new String object, to which "a" is pointed, ...

A String is a string. A StringBuffer is a tool for building Strings. When you need to pass an argument to a method named, say, setName(), the argument, presumably a "name", ought to be a String. When you need to return something from a method named, say, getName(), and it's supposed to return the "name" of something, then that method should ...

95. String and StringBuffer    coderanch.com

Because String is immutable, the Java compiler can do certain optimizations with it. For example, if you create multiple strings with the same (compile-time constant) value, then the compiler will create only one String object, and make both variables refer to that one String object. This saves memory. This optimization wouldn't be possible if strings would be mutable.
