String builder

In Java, Strings are normally immutable objects - making a change necessitates creating a new String, which will be inefficient if you need to manipulate large amounts of text.

The StringBuilder class is designed for such instances.

The following methods are important for the string builder:

• append(addition): adds the value to the end of the string.
• charAt(index)
• delete(start, end)
• insert(offset, addition)
• length
• replace(start, end, str)
• toString
