  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.CharSequence
    public class StringConstructor
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.CharSequence
    A CharSequence object representing a String constructed out of a sequence of other Strings. This object does not copy any of the string data - rather, it stores pointers to the original Strings it was constructed with.
