I know that a C string abc would internally be abc\0 in C, is it the same case with Java?
Nope, C strings are an array of chars and thus there is no length associated with them. The side affect of this decision is that to determine a string’s length, one must iterate through it to find the
\0, which isn’t as efficient of carrying the length around.Java strings have a char array for their chars and carry an offset length and a string length. This means determining a string’s length is rather efficient.
