Why StringBuffer and StringBuilder is mutable and what is difference between them ?

Q/..Why StringBuffer and StringBuilder is mutable and what is difference between them ?
Answer :-
========
StringBuffer is synchronized so only one time one thread can access StringBuffer object. SO when you are accessing StringBuffer object no one can change and use this object. So second thread not modify the object of StringBuffer and that is why it's tread safe
You could argue that it was a design mistake to make the StringBuffer class synchronized. It's synchronized to make it thread-safe, which means that if there are multiple threads that try to append data to the same StringBuffer object, then no dobut which is not possible coz it is synchronized
So to overcome this problem sun people develop another class StringBuilder in 1.5v which is functio wise same with StringBuffer but except synchronized features.
Coz in every time synchronisation is not good . it takes more time to execute and performance wise slow. One benifet only there are no chance of data inconsistency.
Use:-
======
so in simple way
when you want to develop multi thread app with mutability features then prefer StringBuilder
When you want to develop single mode app then better to refer StringBuffer.

Mockito interview Questions

1.       Question 1. What Is Mockito? Answer : Mockito allows creation of mock object for the purpose of Test Driven Development and Behavior Driven development. Unlike creating actual object, Mockito allows creation of fake object (external dependencies) which allows it to give consistent results to a given invocation. 2.       Question 2. Why Do We Need Mockito? What Are The Advantages? Answer : Mockito differentiates itself from the other testing framework by removing the expectation beforehand. So, by doing this, it reduces the coupling. Most of the testing framework works on the "expect-run-verify". Mockito allows it to make it "run-verify" framework. Mockito also provides annotation which allows to reduce the boilerplate code. 3.       Question 3. Can You Explain A Mockito Framework? Answer : In Mockito, you always check a particular class. The dependency in that class is injected using m...

REST Methods

GET ============================================= HTTP GET method is used to **read** (or retrieve) a representation of a resource. According to the design of the HTTP specification, GET requests are used only to read data and not change it. Therefore, when used this way, they are considered safe. That is, they can be called without risk of data modification or corruption. Means calling it once has the same effect as calling it 10 times. Additionally, GET is idempotent which means that making multiple identical requests ends up having the same result as a single request. Donot expose unsafe operations via GET. It should never modify any resources on the server. Example: ------------    GET http://www.example.com/customers/12345/orders POST =================================== -> The POST verb is most-often utilized to **create** new resources. In particular, it's used to create subordinate resources. -> That is, subordinate to some other (e.g. parent) reso...
