Lets say I have a really long string that I need to have across multiple lines in the text editor for readability. Should I use StringBuffer or does it not matter? In other words is this:
string my_string = "there are lots of " +
"words here";
The same as this as far as performance goes?
string my_string = "there are lots of words here";
In other words, will I be creating multiple string objects in the first example and only one in the second? I want to make sure performance doesn`t suffer for readability purposes.
