30 /**
31  * A thread-safe, mutable sequence of characters.
32  * A string buffer is like a {@link String}, but can be modified. At any
33  * point in time it contains some particular sequence of characters, but
34  * the length and content of the sequence can be changed through certain
35  * method calls.
36  * <p>
37  * String buffers are safe for use by multiple threads. The methods
38  * are synchronized where necessary so that all the operations on any
39  * particular instance behave as if they occur in some serial order
40  * that is consistent with the order of the method calls made by each of
41  * the individual threads involved.
42  * <p>
43  * The principal operations on a {@code StringBuffer} are the
44  * {@code append} and {@code insert} methods, which are
45  * overloaded so as to accept data of any type. Each effectively
46  * converts a given datum to a string and then appends or inserts the
47  * characters of that string to the string buffer. The
48  * {@code append} method always adds these characters at the end
49  * of the buffer; the {@code insert} method adds the characters at
50  * a specified point.
51  * <p>
52  * For example, if {@code z} refers to a string buffer object
53  * whose current contents are {@code "start"}, then
54  * the method call {@code z.append("le")} would cause the string
55  * buffer to contain {@code "startle"}, whereas
56  * {@code z.insert(4, "le")} would alter the string buffer to
57  * contain {@code "starlet"}.
58  * <p>
59  * In general, if sb refers to an instance of a {@code StringBuffer},
60  * then {@code sb.append(x)} has the same effect as
61  * {@code sb.insert(sb.length(), x)}.
62  * <p>
63  * Whenever an operation occurs involving a source sequence (such as
64  * appending or inserting from a source sequence), this class synchronizes
65  * only on the string buffer performing the operation, not on the source.
66  * Note that while {@code StringBuffer} is designed to be safe to use
67  * concurrently from multiple threads, if the constructor or the
68  * {@code append} or {@code insert} operation is passed a source sequence
69  * that is shared across threads, the calling code must ensure
70  * that the operation has a consistent and unchanging view of the source
71  * sequence for the duration of the operation.
72  * This could be satisfied by the caller holding a lock during the
73  * operation's call, by using an immutable source sequence, or by not
74  * sharing the source sequence across threads.
75  * <p>
76  * Every string buffer has a capacity. As long as the length of the
77  * character sequence contained in the string buffer does not exceed
78  * the capacity, it is not necessary to allocate a new internal
79  * buffer array. If the internal buffer overflows, it is
80  * automatically made larger.
81  * <p>
82  * Unless otherwise noted, passing a {@code null} argument to a constructor
83  * or method in this class will cause a {@link NullPointerException} to be
84  * thrown.
85  * <p>
86  * As of  release JDK 5, this class has been supplemented with an equivalent
87  * class designed for use by a single thread, {@link StringBuilder}.  The
88  * {@code StringBuilder} class should generally be used in preference to
89  * this one, as it supports all of the same operations but it is faster, as
90  * it performs no synchronization.
