Build Strings like a Pro

Strings are used almost everywhere. It might seem not so obvious, but string operations aren’t so great when it comes to performance.

Use the string interpolation operator ($) for smaller strings and StringBuilder for larger strings.

using System;
using System.Text;

namespace SoloLearn
{
 class Program
 {
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
   string username = "mr_anderson";
   string email = "test@email.com";
   
   string str;
   
    // version 1
   str = "Username: " + username + ", Email: " + email;
   Console.WriteLine("version 1 output: " + str);
   
   // version 2
   str = String.Format("Username: {0}, Email: {1}", username, email);
   Console.WriteLine("version 2 output: " + str);
   
   // version 3, string interpolation
   str = $"Username: {username}, Email: {email}";
   Console.WriteLine("version 3 output: " + str);
   
   // version 4, string builder
   StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
   builder.Append("Username: ");
   builder.Append(username);
   builder.Append(", Email: ");
   builder.Append(email);
   str = builder.ToString();
   Console.WriteLine("version 4 output: " + str);
  }
 }
}
