This String helper class enables in-place
modification of a string without
having to create new string instances. Since strings are immutable,
their values cannot change once set. (Attempts to assign a new value
to an existing string succeed, but at the expense of destroying and
re-creating the original string.) The
StringBuilder constructor allows you to set the
size of the StringBuilder and specify the initial
string it contains. The Insert( ) methods put new
data (of varying types) into the StringBuilder at
a specified position. Append( ) adds data to the
end of a StringBuilder. The ToString(
) method converts the StringBuilder into
a real string.
