Concatenate chars to form String in java

Question

Is there a way to concatenate char to form a String in Java?

Example:

String str;
Char a, b, c;
a = \'i\';
b = \'c\';
c = \         


        

Answer 1

Use StringBuilder:

String str;
Char a, b, c;
a = 'i';
b = 'c';
c = 'e';

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(a);
sb.append(b);
sb.append(c);
str = sb.toString();

One-liner:

new StringBuilder().append(a).append(b).append(c).toString();

Doing ""+a+b+c gives:

new StringBuilder().append("").append(a).append(b).append(c).toString();
