Guys, help me clarify. Say i have the following line in my program:

jobSetupErrors.append("abc");

In the case above where jobSetupErrors is a StringBuilder(), what i see happen is:

  1. New String Object is created and assigned value "abc"
  2. value of that String object is assigned to the existing StringBuilder object

If that is correct, and I add 1 more line ...

jobSetupErrors.append("abc");
logger.info("abc");

In the above example are we creating String object separately 2 times?

If so, would it be more proper to do something like this?

String a = "abc";
jobSetupErrors.append(a);
logger.info(a);

Is this a better approach? Please advise
