The StringBuilder Class
Explore the StringBuilder class to efficiently handle strings in C#. Understand its mutable nature, how it manages memory allocation, and use methods such as Append, Insert, Replace, and Remove to modify text dynamically. Gain skills to optimize string processing in your applications.
We'll cover the following...
Introduction
The System.String namespace offers a plethora of methods for handling text. We could even create our own text editor. Remember, though, that a new string is created any time we make a change to a string object. That’s the nature of strings, they are immutable. This can be a problem if our program handles large texts and makes many changes. Memory allocation is a costly operation in terms of memory and processing power.
There must be something dynamic and mutable, something that can be modified in-place instead of created from scratch. Fortunately, .NET provides the StringBuilder ...
