String Buffer Methods in Java

StringBuffer is a mutable sequence of characters that is similar to String but is thread-safe and can be modified without creating new objects. It has methods like append(), insert(), delete(), replace(), reverse(), setLength(), capacity(), and ensureCapacity() to manipulate the string. An example shows using append(), insert(), reverse(), and toString() to modify a StringBuffer. StringBuffer is useful for efficiently modifying strings in applications where performance is important.

StringBuffer is a class in Java that represents a mutable sequence of characters.

It is similar to
the String class, but it is thread-safe and can be modified without creating a new object.

StringBuffer has a number of methods that can be used to manipulate the string, including:

● append(): Appends the specified string or character to the end of the buffer.
● insert(): Inserts the specified string or character at the specified position in the buffer.
● delete(): Deletes the characters from the buffer at the specified start and end positions.
● replace(): Replaces the characters in the buffer from the specified start and end positions
with the specified string.
● reverse(): Reverses the order of the characters in the buffer.
● setLength(): Sets the length of the buffer to the specified value.
● capacity(): Returns the current capacity of the buffer.
● ensureCapacity(): Ensures that the buffer has at least the specified capacity.
● toString(): Returns a string representation of the buffer.

Here is an example of how to use some of the StringBuffer methods:

Java
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer("Hello");

// Append the string " world!" to the buffer.


buffer.append(" world!");

// Insert the string "!" at the beginning of the buffer.


buffer.insert(0, "!");

// Reverse the order of the characters in the buffer.


buffer.reverse();

// Convert the buffer to a string.


String string = buffer.toString();

// Print the string to the console.


System.out.println(string);

Output:

StringBuffer is a powerful class that can be used to manipulate strings in a variety of ways. It is
often used in applications where performance is important, as it is more efficient than the String
class for modifying strings.
