question on String method

[Naveen Megharaj]

public class Zobb {
public static void main(String [] args) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("Foo");
sb.append("bar").delete(2, 4).reverse().insert(2, "tt");
String s = sb.toString().substring(1, 5);
s.toUpperCase();
System.out.println(s);
}
}

//my question is even though "toUpperCase()" method is being called on String object "s", the output being printed is "atto". why is it like that....?

Strings are immutable. The toUpperCase() method returns a new string, which in your example code, you didn't assign to anything.

what you are saying is correct....... but i already checked it out by assigning to a new String variable, buy even then its showing the same output........"atto"

Highly unlikely... Show us the code.
