String is immutable. What exactly is the meaning? [duplicate]

Answer 1

I think the following code clears the difference:

String A = new String("Venugopal");
String B = A;

A = A +"mitul";

System.out.println("A is " + A);
System.out.println("B is " + B);

StringBuffer SA = new StringBuffer("Venugopal");
StringBuffer SB = SA;

SA = SA.append("mitul");

System.out.println("SA is " + SA);
System.out.println("SB is " + SB);
