How does Java make working with strings easier?
"As we’ve previously seen, Java has a String class in the standard JDK. Internally, Java strings are stored as arrays of characters. However, because of the String class, we never directly interact with this representation. Making using strings much easier than in other languages. Java strings have also supported Unicode since version 1. Java provides many methods as part of the String class that can be used to process and manipulate strings. These methods do not change the strings since strings in Java are immutable. Instead, these methods operate by returning a new modified string that can then be stored in a variable."
