How can I optimize string performance in my application?

How can I optimize string performance in my application?

To optimize string performance, consider using StringBuilder for concatenation, avoid unnecessary copies, and use pooling.

What is StringBuilder and how does it help?

StringBuilder is a mutable string class that allows you to modify strings without creating new instances, improving performance.

Are there any specific scenarios where I should avoid using strings?

Yes, avoid using strings in tight loops or when performing many concatenations, as it can lead to performance bottlenecks.

What about memory usage? How does it affect performance?

High memory usage can lead to increased garbage collection, which can slow down your application. Efficient string handling helps reduce this.
