Instantiating a StringBuilder
or a StringBuffer
with a character is misleading because most Java developers would expect
the character to be the initial value of the StringBuffer
.
What actually happens is that the int representation of the character is used to determine the initial size of the StringBuffer
.
Noncompliant Code Example
StringBuffer foo = new StringBuffer('x'); //equivalent to StringBuffer foo = new StringBuffer(120);
Compliant Solution
StringBuffer foo = new StringBuffer("x");
