Mutable String

Therefore mutable strings are those strings whose content can be


changed without creating a new object. StringBuffer and StringBuilder
are mutable versions of String in java.

StringBuffer Constructors:
● StringBuffer(): This creates an empty StringBuffer with a default capacity of 16

characters.

● StringBuffer(int capacity): This creates an empty StringBuffer with a specified

capacity.

● StringBuffer(CharSequence charseq): This creates a StringBuffer containing

the same characters as in the specified character sequence.

● StringBuffer(String str): Creates a StringBuffer corresponding to specific

string.

public class Demo{

public static void main(String[] args) {


StringBuffer st = new StringBuffer(); // Creating
object of StringBuffer
System.out.println(st.capacity());// Initial default
capacity is 16
}
}

Output:
16
In the above code StringBuffer object is created by default 16 memory is
allocated.

Let’s see how to append strings to StringBuffer.

public class Demo{

public static void main(String[] args) {


StringBuffer st = new StringBuffer();
System.out.println(st.capacity());
st.append("Java"); // Java is added to string Buffer
st.append("JavaScript"); // JavaScript is added to
string Buffer
System.out.println(st);
}
}

Output:

Let’s see if you try to append the string more than the default capacity
public class Demo{

public static void main(String[] args) {


StringBuffer st = new StringBuffer();
System.out.println(st.capacity());
st.append("Java");
st.append("JavaScript");
System.out.println(st);
st.append("James Gosling");
System.out.println(st.capacity()); //once the capacity
is full size will be increase by (capacity*2)+2
}
}

Output:
If the size is larger than the size of characters then you can reduce the storage
using trimToSize().

public class Demo{

public static void main(String[] args) {


StringBuffer st = new StringBuffer();
System.out.println(st.capacity());
st.append("Java");
st.append("JavaScript");
System.out.println(st);
st.append("James Gosling");
System.out.println(st.capacity());
st.trimToSize();
System.out.println(st.capacity());

}
}

Output:
String Tokenizer:

StringTokenizer class in Java is used to break a string into tokens.

start

true
false
hasMoreToken()

nextToken()

stop

import java.util.StringTokenizer;

public class Demo{


public static void main(String[] args) {
String s = "JAVA PYTHON SQL AI";
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s);

while(st.hasMoreTokens()) {
System.out.println(st.nextToken());
}
}
}
