java.lang.ObjectAll Implemented Interfaces: Serializable, Appendable, CharSequencejava.lang.StringBuilder
public final class StringBuilder
StringBuffer, but with no guarantee of synchronization.
This class is designed for use as a drop-in replacement for
StringBuffer in places where the string buffer was being
used by a single thread (as is generally the case). Where possible,
it is recommended that this class be used in preference to
StringBuffer as it will be faster under most implementations.
The principal operations on a StringBuilder are the
append and insert methods, which are
overloaded so as to accept data of any type. Each effectively
converts a given datum to a string and then appends or inserts the
characters of that string to the string builder. The
append method always adds these characters at the end
of the builder; the insert method adds the characters at
a specified point.
For example, if zrefers to a string builder object
whose current contents are "start", then
the method call z.append("le") would cause the string
builder to contain "startle", whereas
z.insert(4, "le") would alter the string builder to
contain "starlet".
In general, if sb refers to an instance of a StringBuilder,
then sb.append(x) has the same effect as
sb.insert(sb.length(), x).
Every string builder has a capacity. As long as the length of the
character sequence contained in the string builder does not exceed
the capacity, it is not necessary to allocate a new internal
buffer. If the internal buffer overflows, it is automatically made larger.
Instances of StringBuilder are not safe for
use by multiple threads. If such synchronization is required then it is
recommended that StringBuffer be used.

NullPointerException - if strisnull.public StringBuilder reverse()Causes this character sequence to be replaced by the reverse of the sequence. If there are any surrogate pairs included in the sequence, these are treated as single characters for the reverse operation. Thus, the order of the high-low surrogates is never reversed. Let nbe the character length of this character sequence (not the length in
char values) just prior to
execution of the reverse method. Then the
character at index kin the new character sequence is
equal to the character at index n-k-1 in the old
character sequence.
Note that the reverse operation may result in producing
surrogate pairs that were unpaired low-surrogates and
high-surrogates before the operation. For example, reversing
"\uDC00\uD800" produces "\uD800\uDC00" which is
a valid surrogate pair.
Returns:
a reference to this object.
public String toString()Returns a string representing the data in this sequence. A new
String object is allocated and initialized to
contain the character sequence currently represented by this
object. This String is then returned. Subsequent
changes to this sequence do not affect the contents of the
String.
Specified by:
toString in interface CharSequence
Returns:
a string representation of this sequence of characters.
public int length()Returns the length (character count). Specified by:
length in interface CharSequence
Returns:
the length of the sequence of characters currently
represented by this object
public int capacity()Returns the current capacity. The capacity is the amount of storage available for newly inserted characters, beyond which an allocation will occur. Returns: the current capacity
public void ensureCapacity(int minimumCapacity)Ensures that the capacity is at least equal to the specified minimum. If the current capacity is less than the argument, then a new internal array is allocated with greater capacity. The new capacity is the larger of: ●The
minimumCapacity argument.
●Twice the old capacity, plus 2.
If the minimumCapacity argument is nonpositive, this
method takes no action and simply returns.
Parameters:
minimumCapacity - the minimum desired capacity.
public void trimToSize()Attempts to reduce storage used for the character sequence. If the buffer is larger than necessary to hold its current sequence of characters, then it may be resized to become more space efficient. Calling this method may, but is not required to, affect the value returned by a subsequent call to the
capacity() method.
public void setLength(int newLength)Sets the length of the character sequence. The sequence is changed to a new character sequence whose length is specified by the argument. For every nonnegative index kless than
newLength, the character at
index kin the new character sequence is the same as the
character at index kin the old sequence if kis less
than the length of the old character sequence; otherwise, it is the
null character '\u0000'.
In other words, if the newLength argument is less than
the current length, the length is changed to the specified length.
If the newLength argument is greater than or equal
to the current length, sufficient null characters
('\u0000') are appended so that
length becomes the newLength argument.
The newLength argument must be greater than or equal
to 0.
Parameters:
newLength - the new length
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the
newLength argument is negative.
public char charAt(int index)Returns the
char value in this sequence at the specified index.
The first char value is at index 0, the next at index
1, and so on, as in array indexing.
The index argument must be greater than or equal to
0, and less than the length of this sequence.
If the char value specified by the index is a
surrogate, the surrogate
value is returned.
Specified by:
charAt in interface CharSequence
Parameters:
index - the index of the desired char value.
Returns:
the char value at the specified index.
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if index is
negative or greater than or equal to length().
public int codePointAt(int index)Returns the character (Unicode code point) at the specified index. The index refers to
char values
(Unicode code units) and ranges from 0tolength() - 1.
If the char value specified at the given index
is in the high-surrogate range, the following index is less
than the length of this sequence, and the
char value at the following index is in the
low-surrogate range, then the supplementary code point
corresponding to this surrogate pair is returned. Otherwise,
the char value at the given index is returned.
Parameters:
index - the index to the char values
Returns:
the code point value of the character at the
index
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index
argument is negative or not less than the length of this
sequence.
public int codePointBefore(int index)Returns the character (Unicode code point) before the specified index. The index refers to
char values
(Unicode code units) and ranges from 1tolength().
If the char value at (index - 1)
is in the low-surrogate range, (index - 2) is not
negative, and the char value at (index -
2) is in the high-surrogate range, then the
supplementary code point value of the surrogate pair is
returned. If the char value at index -
1 is an unpaired low-surrogate or a high-surrogate, the
surrogate value is returned.
Parameters:
index - the index following the code point that should be returned
Returns:
the Unicode code point value before the given index.
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index
argument is less than 1 or greater than the length
of this sequence.
public int codePointCount(int beginIndex,
int endIndex)
Returns the number of Unicode code points in the specified text
range of this sequence. The text range begins at the specified
beginIndex and extends to the char at
index endIndex - 1. Thus the length (inchars) of the text range is
endIndex-beginIndex. Unpaired surrogates within
this sequence count as one code point each.
Parameters:
beginIndex - the index to the first char of
the text range.
endIndex - the index after the last char of
the text range.
Returns:
the number of Unicode code points in the specified text
range
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the
beginIndex is negative, or endIndex
is larger than the length of this sequence, or
beginIndex is larger than endIndex.
public int offsetByCodePoints(int index,
int codePointOffset)
Returns the index within this sequence that is offset from the
given indexbycodePointOffset code
points. Unpaired surrogates within the text range given by
index and codePointOffset count as
one code point each.
Parameters:
index - the index to be offset
codePointOffset - the offset in code points
Returns:
the index within this sequence
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if index
is negative or larger then the length of this sequence,
or if codePointOffset is positive and the subsequence
starting with index has fewer than
codePointOffset code points,
or if codePointOffset is negative and the subsequence
before index has fewer than the absolute value of
codePointOffset code points.
public void getChars(int srcBegin,
int srcEnd,
char[] dst,
int dstBegin)
Characters are copied from this sequence into the
destination character array dst. The first character to
be copied is at index srcBegin; the last character to
be copied is at index srcEnd-1. The total number of
characters to be copied is srcEnd-srcBegin. The
characters are copied into the subarray of dst starting
at index dstBegin and ending at index:
dstbegin + (srcEnd-srcBegin) - 1Parameters:
srcBegin - start copying at this offset.
srcEnd - stop copying at this offset.
dst - the array to copy the data into.
dstBegin - offset into dst.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if dstisnull.
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if any of the following is true:
●srcBegin is negative
●dstBegin is negative
●the srcBegin argument is greater than
the srcEnd argument.
●srcEnd is greater than
this.length().
●dstBegin+srcEnd-srcBegin is greater than
dst.length
public void setCharAt(int index,
char ch)
The character at the specified index is set to ch. This
sequence is altered to represent a new character sequence that is
identical to the old character sequence, except that it contains the
character chat position index.
The index argument must be greater than or equal to
0, and less than the length of this sequence.
Parameters:
index - the index of the character to modify.
ch - the new character.
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if index is
negative or greater than or equal to length().
public String substring(int start)Returns a new
String that contains a subsequence of
characters currently contained in this character sequence. The
substring begins at the specified index and extends to the end of
this sequence.
Parameters:
start - The beginning index, inclusive.
Returns:
The new string.
Throws:
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException - if start is
less than zero, or greater than the length of this object.
public CharSequence subSequence(int start,
int end)
Returns a new character sequence that is a subsequence of this sequence.
An invocation of this method of the form
sb.subSequence(begin, end)behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation
sb.substring(begin, end)This method is provided so that this class can implement the
CharSequence interface.
Specified by:
subSequence in interface CharSequence
Parameters:
start - the start index, inclusive.
end - the end index, exclusive.

characters currently contained in this sequence. The
substring begins at the specified start and
extends to the character at index end - 1.
Parameters:
start - The beginning index, inclusive.
end - The ending index, exclusive.
Returns:
The new string.
Throws:
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException - if startorend are negative or greater than
length(), or start is
greater than end.
