String and

StringBuilder
Classes in Java
Java provides two powerful classes for working with strings: String
and StringBuilder. This presentation will explore their differences,
use cases, and best practices for efficient string manipulation.

Immutability and Performance

The String class is immutable, meaning its characters In contrast, StringBuilder is a mutable class that allows

Creating and Modifying
Strings

Modification
Strings are created using

replacement of characters.
String Manipulation Methods
1 Useful String Methods
2 StringBuilder
Operations
Java's String class
provides a rich set of StringBuilder offers
methods for manipulating methods like append(),
text, such as substring(), insert(), and delete() to
replace(), and trim(). modify its contents
efficiently.
Comparing Strings
==
Compares object references, not string contents.

.equals()
Compares the actual string values, accounting for content.

.compareTo()
Compares strings lexicographically, useful for sorting.
Introducing StringBuilder

Mutable
StringBuilder allows for efficient in-place modifications.

Performance
Outperforms String for operations like concatenation.

Thread-Safety
StringBuilder is not inherently thread-safe, unlike String.
Mutable String Operations
1 Append
Efficiently add content to the end of the StringBuilder.

2 Insert
Insert new characters at a specific index within the
StringBuilder.

3 Delete
Remove a range of characters from the StringBuilder.
Performance

1 Choose Wisely 2 Performance Matters
Use String for immutable Consider using

manipulation. string operations.

3 Avoid Concatenation
Use StringBuilder instead of repeated String concatenation
for better efficiency.
