Use Strings carefully ⚠️

If two Strings are concatenated using “+” operator in a “for” loop, then it creates a new String Object, every time.

This causes wastage of Memory and increases Performance time.

Also, while instantiating a String Object, constructors should be avoided and instantiation should happen directly. For example:

//Slower Instantiation ❌
String bad = new String("string object");

//Faster Instantiation ✅
String good = "string object";

Use String.valueOf() instead of toString() 💎

If obj needs to be converted to string then the result of obj.toString() and String.valueOf(obj) will be same.

But String.valueOf() is Null Safe, means it will never throw NullPointerException. 🎯

Test test = null;

// Below statement will not throw NPE
System.out.println(String.valueOf(test));

// Next statement will throw NPE
System.out.println(test.toString())
