What is string builder & why it is used?
String does not allow appending. Each method you invoke on a String creates a new object and returns it. This is because String is immutable - it cannot change its internal state.
On the other hand StringBuilder is mutable. When you call append(..) it alters the internal char array, rather than creating a new string object.
Thus it is more efficient to have:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < 500; i ++) {
sb.append(i);
}
rather than str += i , which would create 500 new string objects.
StringBuilder is much faster and consumes less memory.
