String comparison can be done with the methods equals and equalsIgnoreCase. Note that == tests if two strings are the same string instance, while equals tests if two different strings have the same characters.
Other methods include length, CharAt and toString.
The StringBuffer class has mutable strings, but is created with a fixed maximum size. It has methods such as append to extend the length of the string.
