Java String & String Pool

👱 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
Constant string pool.
If the name value has changed from “book” to “pen”.

    Then the older value retains in the constant string pool.
  • Basically, string is a sequence of characters but it’s not a primitive type.
  • When we create a string in java, it actually creates an object of type String.
  • String is the immutable object which means that it cannot be changed once it is created.
  • String is the only class where operator overloading is supported in Java. We can concat two strings using the + operator. For example "a"+"b"="ab".
  • Java provides two useful classes for String manipulation – StringBuffer and StringBuilder.
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”;

Stack
Once the name value has been changed to “pen” then the “book” is erased in the stack.

Stack1
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.

Java String Pool
Memory management is the most important aspect of any programming language. Memory management in case of string in Java is a little bit different than any other class. To make Java more memory efficient, JVM introduced a special memory area for a string called String Constant Pool.

Java Loops II print each element of our series as a single line of space-separated values.

We use the integers  ,  , and   to create the following series: You are given   queries in the form of  ,  , and  . For each query, print the series corresponding to the given  ,  , and   values as a single line of   space-separated integers. Input Format The first line contains an integer,  , denoting the number of queries.  Each line   of the   subsequent lines contains three space-separated integers describing the respective  ,  , and   values for that query. Constraints Output Format For each query, print the corresponding series on a new line. Each series must be printed in order as a single line of   space-separated integers. Sample Input 2 0 2 10 5 3 5 Sample Output 2 6 14 30 62 126 254 510 1022 2046 8 14 26 50 98 Explanation We have two queries: We use  ...

The  Calendar class  is an abstract class that provides methods for converting between a specific instant in time and a set of calendar fields such as YEAR, MONTH, DAY_OF_MONTH, HOUR, and so on, and for manipulating the calendar fields, such as getting the date of the next week. You are given a date. To simplify your task, we have provided a portion of the code in the editor. You just need to write the method,  , which returns the  day  on that date. For example, if you are given the date  , the method should return   as the day on that date. Input Format A single line of input containing the space separated month, day and year, respectively, in      format. Constraints Output Format Output the correct day in capital letters. Sample Input 08 05 2015 Sample Output WEDNESDAY Explanation The day on August  th    was  WEDNESDAY . impo...
