[java] What is the difference between String and StringBuffer in Java?

String                                          StringBuffer

Immutable                                       Mutable
String s=new String("karthik");                StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer("karthik")
s.concat("reddy");                             sb.append("reddy");
System.out.println(s);                         System.out.println(sb);
O/P:karthik                                    O/P:karthikreddy

--->once we created a String object            ---->once we created a StringBuffer object
we can't perform any changes in the existing  we can perform any changes in the existing
object.If we are trying to perform any        object.It is nothing but mutablity of 
changes with those changes a new object       of a StrongBuffer object
will be created.It is nothing but Immutability
of a String object

Use String--->If you require immutabilty
Use StringBuffer---->If you require mutable + threadsafety
Use StringBuilder--->If you require mutable + with out threadsafety

String s=new String("karthik");
--->here 2 objects will be created one is heap and the other is in stringconstantpool(scp) and s is always pointing to heap object

String s="karthik"; 
--->In this case only one object will be created in scp and s is always pointing to that object only
