Answer / subhareddy
There is no much difference between string buffer and string
builder.only thing is all the methods available in string
buffer class are synchronized methods.and the method
available in string builder class are non-synchronized methods.
If we want thread safety then we have to go for string
buffer ,but performance goes down.if we don't want thread
safety the we can go for string builder

Answer / mohan
String is immutable whereas StringBuffer and StringBuilder
can change their values.
The only difference between StringBuffer and StringBuilder
is that StringBuilder is unsynchronized whereas StringBuffer
is synchronized. So when the application needs to be run
only in a single thread then it is better to use
StringBuilder. StringBuilder is more efficient than
StringBuffer.
Criteria to choose among String, StringBuffer and StringBuilder
---If your text is not going to change use a string Class
because a String object is immutable.
---If your text can change and will only be accessed from a
single thread, use a StringBuilder because StringBuilder is
unsynchronized.
---If your text can changes, and will be accessed from
multiple threads, use a StringBuffer because StringBuffer is
synchronous.

hi All
Both are mutable ,that means we can change value of the
instance variable using append,insert and ...
But only one difference when you go for the multi-thread
concept you use StringBuffer,Because it is thread safe ,that
means, if one thread access this stringbuffer variable on
the time another thread cant access this stringbuffer,so
stringbuffer is slowest performance compare to stringbuilder.

3.2 Consider the following class: public class Point { protected int x, y; public Point(int xx, int yy) { x = xx; y = yy; } public Point() { this(0, 0); } public int getx() { return x; } public int gety() { return y; } public String toString() { return "("+x+", "+y+")"; } } Say you wanted to define a rectangle class that stored its top left corner and its height and width as fields. 3.2.1 Why would it be wrong to make Rectangle inherit from Point (where in fact it would inherit the x and y coordinates for its top left corner and you could just add the height and width as additional fields)? (1) 8 Now consider the following skeleton of the Rectangle class: public class Rectangle { private Point topLeft; private int height, width; public Rectangle(Point tl, int h, int w) { topLeft = tl; height = h; width = w; } public Rectangle() { this(new Point(), 0, 0); } // methods come here } 3.2.2 Explain the no-argument constructor of the Rectangle class given above. 3.2.3 Write methods for the Rectangle class to do the following: • a toString() method that returns a string of the format "top left = (x, y); height = h; width = w " where x, y, h and w are the appropriate integer values. • an above() method that tests whether one rectangle is completely above another (i.e. all y values of the one rectangle are greater than all y values of the other). For example, with the following declarations Rectangle r1 = new Rectangle(); Rectangle r2 = new Rectangle(new Point(2,2), 1, 4); the expression r2.above(r1) should give true, and r2.above (r2) should give false. (You can assume that the height of a rectangle is never negative.) (2) (5)
