String Class Notes

In Java, a String is an immutable object that represents a sequence of characters, created either by string literals or the new keyword. StringBuffer is a mutable object that is synchronized and thread-safe, while StringBuilder is also a mutable object but is non-synchronized and offers better performance. Both StringBuffer and StringBuilder are subclasses of the CharSequence interface.

STRING IN JAVA

 AN OBJECT THAT REPRESENTS SEQUENCE OF CHARACTER


VALUES.

 EXAMPLE.,STUDENT IS A STRING OF 7CHARACTERS.

 IN JAVA STRING IS AN IMMUTABLE OBJECT WHICH MEANS IT


IS CONSTANT AND CANT BE CHANGED ONCE IT HAS BEEN
CREATED. Strings are used for storing text.

HOW TO CREATE A STRING

1) BY STRING LITERAL
2) BY NEW KEYWORD.--String Buffer/String Builder

1)JAVA STRING LITERAL IS CREATED BY USING DOUBLE


QUOTES.

String obj = “College”;

2)USING NEW KEYWORD .

String objname = new String(“College”);

 STRING IS A CLASS SO WE CAN ABLE TO CREATE AN


[Link],

String objname = new String(“College”); THIS COLLEGE WILL STORE


IN OBJNAME.

BY STRING LITERAL --- WE DON’T USE NEW KEYWORD.


BY NEW KEYWORD. --- WE WILL USE NEW KEYWORD.

STRING BUFFER

 An object that represents sequence of char values.

 Eg., Student is a string of 7 charaters.


 In java stringbuffer is a mutable object
 The string buffer class is a child of charsequence interface.
 Stringbuffer is synchronised/thread safe.(ie., multiple threads
cannot access It simultaneously).

How to create a stringbuffer object?

We can create by using new keyword.

StringBuffer refname = new Stringbuffer(“Student”);

STRING BUILDER : efficiency wise it is faster

 THE STRING BUILDER CLASS IS A CHILD OF CHARSEQUENCE


INTERFACE.

 STRING BUILDER IS NON SYNCHRONIZED /Non THREAD SAFE


I.E., MULTIPLE THREADS CAN ACCESS IT SIMULTANEOUSLY.

 Efficiency wise even more faster one.
