This class provides an API compatible * with {@code StringBuffer}, but with no guarantee of synchronization. * This class is designed for use as a drop-in replacement for * {@code 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 * {@code StringBuffer} as it will be faster under most implementations. * *

The principal operations on a {@code StringBuilder} are the * {@code append} and {@code 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 * {@code append} method always adds these characters at the end * of the builder; the {@code insert} method adds the characters at * a specified point. *

* For example, if {@code z} refers to a string builder object * whose current contents are "{@code start}", then * the method call {@code z.append("le")} would cause the string * builder to contain "{@code startle}", whereas * {@code z.insert(4, "le")} would alter the string builder to * contain "{@code starlet}". *

* In general, if sb refers to an instance of a {@code StringBuilder}, * then {@code sb.append(x)} has the same effect as * {@code 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 {@code StringBuilder} are not safe for * use by multiple threads. If such synchronization is required then it is * recommended that {@link java.lang.StringBuffer} be used. * *

Unless otherwise noted, passing a {@code null} argument to a constructor * or method in this class will cause a {@link NullPointerException} to be * thrown. * * @author Michael McCloskey * @see java.lang.StringBuffer * @see java.lang.String * @since 1.5 */ public final class StringBuilder extends AbstractStringBuilder implements java.io.Serializable, CharSequence { /** use serialVersionUID for interoperability */ static final long serialVersionUID = 4383685877147921099L; /** * Constructs a string builder with no characters in it and an * initial capacity of 16 characters. */ public StringBuilder() { super(16); } /** * Constructs a string builder with no characters in it and an * initial capacity specified by the {@code capacity} argument. * * @param capacity the initial capacity. * @throws NegativeArraySizeException if the {@code capacity} * argument is less than {@code 0}. */ public StringBuilder(int capacity) { super(capacity); } /** * Constructs a string builder initialized to the contents of the * specified string.
