Dont forget one important note that StringBuilder is not thread-safe , it should not be used in a multithreaded environment without proper synchronization. If you need to use StringBuilder in a multithreaded environment, you should use StringBuffer instead, which is a thread-safe alternative

@GFunkEra1992 Год назад

yes, but using multithreading is very specific. Not all companies uses it.

@RobertSaulnier Год назад

I can't think of a single use case where a StringBuffer makes sense, even in a multithreaded environment. Threads will most likely call append multiple times so what will the output look like? Garbage

@martins2246 Год назад

How I code for real, and how I code in interviews are different. The interview test is high pressure, and challenging. I like to stick with the old += and then mention "I know there is an optimization for this if we concat a lot of strings in a loop..." and away we go. I feel the same way about Autoboxing. I like to keep things easier to flow with under those conditions and then mention "I can optimize these Autoboxes later..." and it usually gets a grunt that sounds positive.

@CottidaeSEA Год назад

Whether to use StringBuilder/StringBuffer (StringBuffer is thread safe) or just do += or similar depends primarily on many times you're doing it. If it's just one or two times you might as well use += because the performance drops are negligible.

@JorgetePanete Год назад

It's important to know how in Java 9 or 10 (idk) the bytecode changes, if you do several + to form a full string, like a text block without text block syntax, it's performant

isnt that just the compiler making it into a constant at compile time the compiler knows when you do `"a" + "b"` that it will always result in "ab"

At 4:22 there is no need to invoke "toString()" on the StringBuilder instance. If you look under the hood, "String.valueOf(sb)" calls the "toString()" method for you. That is why it gets greyed out in your IDE, it is redundant.

Bro which video editing tool you are using ?

@reddish98 Год назад

I agree with the lesson of this video, although I´d like to point out that in real usage the slow vs fast methods would not have that much of a performance difference. I can't think of any scenarios where the same string would be appended to 1 million times. Assuming that each string is only appended to 10s or maybe 100s of times before a brand new one is created, using a StringBuilder would still be faster but not near to the performance gains shown in this example. Nevertheless a great point and video

@xSferQx Год назад

In systems which generate files, reports etc. for example ERP systems, appending string multiple times is pretty frequent functionality

@reddish98 Год назад

@@xSferQx I really don't know a lot about those types of systems but I´d be surprised if they append the same string millions of times without writing it to a file (and clearing the string)

@simonfarre4907 Год назад

This is bad advice. I don't use Java myself, at work or at home, because, hey, it's just not great - but that's beside the point - why this is bad advice is because String is an immutable type. Writing code like that, informs the human on the other side that you're doing some form of mutation. You're essentially making a logic or reasoning error. StringBuilder (although a _terrible_ name, Java should have just went with what other languages do, and make a String class that is not immutable and a StringRef that is) should be used regardless. Because that signals that "hey, I'm doing some mutation here". Secondly s += "foo" using an immutable type comes with another problem (in a single threaded context) - you're throwing away the reference to the prior string. That means now, the GC has to perform extra work. Whether or not you are "appending" a million times or a hundred times, you are creating objects, fragmenting the heap and adding additional work for the GC. This _is_ costly. Particularly since GC's, in 2023 aren't great, they never will be great, because that's just a fact of life in that problem domain (I'm not saying GC's should never be used, I'm just saying they come with overhead). So it's not just about performance, although that *certainly* is the most important part, but it's also about the logic of the code. Strings are immutable. And when you do += you have not just created a new string, you have discarded the reference to the old one. That is _not_ the intention of appending, and most likely not what the programmer intended either, although it is explicitly what happens.

@RobertSaulnier Год назад

@@simonfarre4907 your obviously haven't kept up with GC performance. ZGC runs full gcs in less than a millisecond with Tera bytes of heap

@simonfarre4907 Год назад

@@RobertSaulnier Do you know what trade offs ZGC has made to be able to be faster? Because there are no silver bullet GC's. GCs are a tool we use to make certain development more ergonomic, but it always comes at the cost of performance. Yes, GC's are faster today than they were 10-15 years ago, but guess what, so are computers. Garbage collection come with inherent constraints, it's part of the trade off game we play. But GC is always, always less performant.

Slightly confused now, why isn't there an invoke dynamic call that appends these million to a StringBuilder and finally unwrap to String

@simonfarre4907 Год назад

Because optimizers, regardless of the language, can only do so much heavy lifting for you. In the end, you have to be smart enough to not do things like this. Don't get me wrong, compilers and optimizers are fantastic, and they can optimize code in *amazing ways* but most people would be surprised with how fast an optimizer gets to a point where it can not guarantee a specific thing and therefore have to skip optimizing it entirely.

Doesn't java optimize string concatenation in loops by using StringBuilder? I know modern Javascript engines do, so I would assume Java does the same thing since it's a very common operation.

@KingstonFortune Год назад

Yes Java does optimize string concatenation using StringBuilder even if you don’t explicitly use it. Under the hood Java would create a new StringBuilder object and use the append method and once done it converts it to a string by using the toString method. And yeah as you mentioned SB provides much better performance if you wona concatenate in a loop 😇

String non mutable, for mutable operations always use StringBuilder 6. Java Strings may be globally cached 7. Doe not have operator [] for access to elements by index, welcome charAt ... And more ..

Actually compiler in here correct, the term "compiler" is a general term used for any software that translates source code written in one programming language into another language. If we were talking about typescript or similar languages which are converting them to another language , the correct verb/word should be "transcompiler".
