This is one of the most common and important interview questions for Java developers. 🔹 String (Immutable) Once created, it cannot be changed Every modification creates a new object Ensures security, thread-safety, and caching Used in sensitive areas like URLs, file paths, etc. 🔹 StringBuffer (Mutable) Can be modified after creation Changes happen in the same object More memory efficient Thread-safe (synchronized) 💡 Key Insight: Use String when data should not change Use StringBuffer when frequent modifications are needed #Java #JavaDeveloper #CoreJava #String #StringBuffer #Programming #Coding #SoftwareDevelopment #BackendDeveloper #FullStackDeveloper #SpringBoot #CodingInterview #InterviewPreparation #TechInterview #Developers #LearnJava #JavaConcepts #DSA #CodingLife #TechCommunity
