How can I clear or empty a StringBuilder?

ways that work: Use stringBuilderObj.setLength(0). Allocate a new one with new StringBuilder() instead of clearing the buffer. Note that for performance-critical code paths, this approach can be significantly slower than the setLength-based approach (since a new object with a new buffer needs to be allocated, the old object becomes eligible for GC etc).

What is the difference between the HashMap and Map objects in Java?

In the first case, the interface is HashMap<String, Object>, whereas in the second it’s Map<String, Object>. But the underlying object is the same.

Resizing image in Java

If you have an java.awt.Image, rezising it doesn’t require any additional libraries. Just do: Ovbiously, replace newWidth and newHeight with the dimensions of the specified image.Notice the last parameter: it tells to the runtime the algorithm you want to use for resizing. There are algorithms that produce a very precise result, however these take a large time to complete.You can use any of the following … Read more
