Here is a Java Program to compare performance of string creation
Output of Above Java Program
Time taken for creation of String literals : 2 milli seconds
Time taken for creation of String objects : 5 milli seconds
class StringComparePerformance{
public static void main(String[] args){
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
for(int i=0;i<50000;i++){
String s1 = "hello";
String s2 = "hello";
}
long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("Time taken for creation"
+ " of String literals : "+ (endTime - startTime)
+ " milli seconds" );
long startTime1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
for(int i=0;i<50000;i++){
String s3 = new String("hello");
String s4 = new String("hello");
}
long endTime1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("Time taken for creation"
+ " of String objects : " + (endTime1 - startTime1)
+ " milli seconds");
}
}
Output of Above Java Program
Time taken for creation of String literals : 2 milli seconds
Time taken for creation of String objects : 5 milli seconds
