| Core Java - Interview Questions and Answers for 'String immutable' - 3 question(s) found - Order By Newest | ||||
| ||||
| Ans. String is widely used as parameter for many java classes, e.g. network connection, opening files, etc. Making it mutable might possess threats due to interception by the other code segment or hacker over internet. Once a String constant is created in Java , it stays in string constant pool until garbage collected and hence stays there much longer than what's needed. Any unauthorized access to string Pool pose a threat of exposing these values. | ||||

| What is the purpose of String Pool ? Don't you think it's a performance overhead to have unnecessary check for string in string pool ? | ||||
| Why string pool concept has been introduced in string ? | ||||
| ||||
| Ans. Because it doesn't make the change in the existing string but would create a new string by concatenating the new string to previous string. So Original string won't get changed but a new string will be created. That is why when we say str1.concat("Hello"); It means nothing because we haven't specified the reference to the new string and we have no way to access the new concatenated string. Accessing str1 with the above code will still give the original string. | ||||

| Why shouldn't we use string concatenation extensively or in a loop ? | ||||
| ||||
| Ans. Because String being an immutable object creates a new object upon each concatenation cycle. If there is any such need , we should use String Builder whose objects are mutable. | ||||
