StringBuilder Class toString() method

• toString() method is available in java.lang package.
• toString() method is used to represent string denoted by this object (when we create a new string object so first it is created and instantiated to contain the data[set of characters] denoted by this object currently).
• toString() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with the class object only and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.
• toString() method does not throw an exception at the time of string representation.

Syntax:

    public String toString();

Parameter(s):

• It does not accept any parameter.

Return value:

The return type of this method is String, it returns the string denotation of this set of characters represented by this object.

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of String toString() method of StringBuilder 

public class ToString {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Creating an StringBuilder object
        StringBuilder st_b = new StringBuilder("Java ");

        // By using append() method is to append the given string to 
        // st_b object

        st_b.append("World");

        // By using toString() method is to represent st_b
        // object to String
        System.out.println("st_b.toString() = " + st_b.toString());
    }
}

Output

st_b.toString() = Java World
