StringBuilder in C#

StringBuilder is a mutable string class in C# that provides better performance than the standard string class when you need to perform multiple string manipulations.

Key features of StringBuilder:

1. It's located in the System.Text namespace
2. It's mutable (unlike string, which is immutable)
3. More efficient for multiple string operations
4. Particularly useful when concatenating many strings

Basic usage:

using System;

using System.Text;

class Program

{

    static void Main()

    {

        // Create a new StringBuilder

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

        

        // Append text

        sb.Append("Hello");

        sb.Append(" ");

        sb.Append("World!");

        

        // Convert to string when done

        string result = sb.ToString();

        

        Console.WriteLine(result); // Outputs: Hello World!

    }

}

Common methods:

• Append() - Adds text to the end
• AppendLine() - Adds text with a line break
• Insert() - Inserts text at a specified position
• Remove() - Removes characters
• Replace() - Replaces specified characters
• Clear() - Removes all characters
• ToString() - Converts to a string

StringBuilder is particularly valuable in loops or when you're building strings iteratively, as it avoids creating multiple string objects in memory.
