All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Appendable, CharSequence
```
public final class StringBuilder
extends Object
implements Serializable, CharSequence
```
A mutable sequence of characters. This class provides an API compatible with 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 z refers 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.

  - indexOf
```
public int indexOf(String str)
```
    Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified substring. The integer returned is the smallest value k such that:
    this.toString().startsWith(str, k)
    is true.
    Parameters:
    str - any string.
    
    Returns:
    if the string argument occurs as a substring within this object, then the index of the first character of the first such substring is returned; if it does not occur as a substring, -1 is returned.

  - indexOf
```
public int indexOf(String str,
          int fromIndex)
```
    Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified substring, starting at the specified index. The integer returned is the smallest value k for which:
    k >= Math.min(fromIndex, this.length()) && this.toString().startsWith(str, k)

    Parameters:
    str - the substring to search for.
    
    Returns:
    if the string argument occurs one or more times as a substring within this object, then the index of the first character of the last such substring is returned. If it does not occur as a substring, -1 is returned.

    NullPointerException - if str is null.
  - lastIndexOf
```
public int lastIndexOf(String str,
              int fromIndex)
```
    Returns the index within this string of the last occurrence of the specified substring. The integer returned is the largest value k such that:
    k <= Math.min(fromIndex, this.length()) && this.toString().startsWith(str, k)
    If no such value of k exists, then -1 is returned.
    Parameters:
    str - the substring to search for.
    fromIndex - the index to start the search from.
    
    Returns:
    the index within this sequence of the last occurrence of the specified substring.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if str is null.
  - reverse
```
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 n be 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 k in 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.
  - toString
```
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.
  - length
```
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
  - capacity
```
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
  - ensureCapacity
```
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.
  - trimToSize
```
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.
  - setLength
```
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 k less than newLength, the character at index k in the new character sequence is the same as the character at index k in the old sequence if k is 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.
  - charAt
```
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().
  - codePointAt
```
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 0 to length() - 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.
  - codePointBefore
```
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 1 to length().
    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.
  - codePointCount
```
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 (in chars) 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.
  - offsetByCodePoints
```
public int offsetByCodePoints(int index,
                     int codePointOffset)
```
    Returns the index within this sequence that is offset from the given index by codePointOffset 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.
  - getChars
```
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) - 1
    Parameters:
    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 dst is null.
    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
  - setCharAt
```
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 ch at 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().
  - substring
```
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:

```
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.
