java.lang.Objectjava.lang.StringBuilder
public final class StringBuilder
StringBuilder
represents a changeable String
.
It provides the operations required to modify the
StringBuilder
, including insert, replace, delete, append,
and reverse. It like StringBuffer
, but is not
synchronized. It is ideal for use when it is known that the
object will only be used from a single thread.
StringBuilder
s are variable-length in nature, so even if
you initialize them to a certain size, they can still grow larger than
that. Capacity indicates the number of characters the
StringBuilder
can have in it before it has to grow (growing
the char array is an expensive operation involving new
).
Incidentally, compilers often implement the String operator "+"
by using a StringBuilder
operation:
a + b
is the same as
new StringBuilder().append(a).append(b).toString()
.
Classpath's StringBuilder is capable of sharing memory with Strings for efficiency. This will help when a StringBuilder is converted to a String and the StringBuilder is not changed after that (quite common when performing string concatenation).
