JDK学习笔记之StringBuilder

StringBuilder由final修饰，该类不可被继承。
StringBuilder是AbstractStringBuilder的子类。
StringBuilder的无参构造方法调用了父类的有参构造方法，可以看出默认的容量为16，也就是把value数组的长度设置为16.

    public StringBuilder() {
        super(16);
    }

    /**
     * Constructs a string builder with no characters in it and an
     * initial capacity specified by the {@code capacity} argument.
     *
     * @param      capacity  the initial capacity.
     * @throws     NegativeArraySizeException  if the {@code capacity}
     *               argument is less than {@code 0}.
     */

当然也可以使用有参的构造方法设置容量

    public StringBuilder(int capacity) {
        super(capacity);
    }

    /**
     * Constructs a string builder initialized to the contents of the
     * specified string. The initial capacity of the string builder is
     * {@code 16} plus the length of the string argument.
     *
     * @param   str   the initial contents of the buffer.
     */

参数为String的构造方法，默认容量为传入String的长度再加上16；

    public StringBuilder(String str) {
        super(str.length() + 16);
        append(str);
    }

对于append方法而言，都是调用的父类AbstractStringBuilder的方法

    @Override
    public StringBuilder append(Object obj) {
        return append(String.valueOf(obj));
    }

    @Override
    public StringBuilder append(String str) {
        super.append(str);
        return this;
    }
        public StringBuilder append(StringBuffer sb) {
        super.append(sb);
        return this;
    }

    @Override
    public StringBuilder append(CharSequence s) {
        super.append(s);
        return this;
    }

toString方法返回一个新的String，

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        // Create a copy, don't share the array
        return new String(value, 0, count);
    }
