Java StringBuilder Examples

Let's see the examples of different methods of StringBuilder class.

1) StringBuilder append() method

The StringBuilder append() method concatenates the given argument with this string.

class StringBuilderExample{

public static void main(String args[]){

StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder("Hello ");

sb.append("Java");//now original string is changed

System.out.println(sb);//prints Hello Java

2) StringBuilder insert() method

The StringBuilder insert() method inserts the given string with this string at the given
position.

class StringBuilderExample2{

public static void main(String args[]){

StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder("Hello ");

sb.insert(1,"Java");//now original string is changed

System.out.println(sb);//prints HJavaello

3) StringBuilder replace() method


The StringBuilder replace() method replaces the given string from the specified
beginIndex and endIndex.

class StringBuilderExample3{

public static void main(String args[]){

StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder("Hello");

sb.replace(1,3,"Java");

System.out.println(sb);//prints HJavalo

4) StringBuilder delete() method

The delete() method of StringBuilder class deletes the string from the specified
beginIndex to endIndex.

class StringBuilderExample4{

public static void main(String args[]){

StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder("Hello");

sb.delete(1,3);

System.out.println(sb);//prints Hlo

5) StringBuilder reverse() method

The reverse() method of StringBuilder class reverses the current string.

class StringBuilderExample5{

public static void main(String args[]){


StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder("Hello");

sb.reverse();

System.out.println(sb);//prints olleH

6) StringBuilder capacity() method

The capacity() method of StringBuilder class returns the current capacity of the Builder.
The default capacity of the Builder is 16. If the number of character increases from its
current capacity, it increases the capacity by (oldcapacity*2)+2. For example if your
current capacity is 16, it will be (16*2)+2=34.

class StringBuilderExample6{

public static void main(String args[]){

StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();

System.out.println(sb.capacity());//default 16

sb.append("Hello");

System.out.println(sb.capacity());//now 16

sb.append("java is my favourite language");

System.out.println(sb.capacity());//now (16*2)+2=34 i.e (oldcapacity*2)+2

7) StringBuilder ensureCapacity() method

The ensureCapacity() method of StringBuilder class ensures that the given capacity is
the minimum to the current capacity. If it is greater than the current capacity, it
increases the capacity by (oldcapacity*2)+2. For example if your current capacity is 16,
it will be (16*2)+2=34.
class StringBuilderExample7{

public static void main(String args[]){

StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();

System.out.println(sb.capacity());//default 16

sb.append("Hello");

System.out.println(sb.capacity());//now 16

sb.append("java is my favourite language");

System.out.println(sb.capacity());//now (16*2)+2=34 i.e (oldcapacity*2)+2

sb.ensureCapacity(10);//now no change

System.out.println(sb.capacity());//now 34

sb.ensureCapacity(50);//now (34*2)+2

System.out.println(sb.capacity());//now 70
