Class StringBuffer

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.lang.StringBuffer

public final class StringBuffer
extends Object

An expandable string of characters. Actually not very expandable! 09/25/2001 added number formatting thanks to Martin E. Nielsen. You must ensure that the buffer is large enough to take the formatted number.
