Foil 22 More on Strings and the StringBuffer Class

From Java Tutorial 98- 4: Multi-Treading, Useful Java Classes, I/O and Networking NAVO Tutorial -- Sept 23 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Nancy McCracken
String comparison is done with the methods equals() and equalsIgnoreCase(). Note that == tests if two strings are the same string instance, while equals() tests if two distinct strings have the same characters.
Other methods include length(), charAt( int ) and toLowerCase().
The StringBuffer class has mutable strings, but with a fixed maximum size. Methods such as append(...) automatically extend the length of the string.
