insert(int offset, String str) StringBuffer method in java

insert(int offset, String str): insert specified string at the offset indicated position.

Syntax:

public synchronized StringBuffer insert(int offset, String str)

Note: if specified string is null than it insert “null” string at the offset indicated position.
If insert has object, int, double etc instead of string than argument value first converted into string using String.valueOf()before inserting.
Offset should be between 0 to length of string, if it is not StringIndexOutOfBoundsException will be thrown.

Example:

StringBufferInsertExample.java

/**
 * This program is used to show the use of insert() method.
 * @author w3spoint
 */
class TestStringBuffer{
	StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("www.com");
 
	/**
	 * This method is used to show the use of insert() method.
	 * @author w3spoint
	 */
	public void insertTest(){
		//insert specified string at 
                //the offset indicated position.
		System.out.println(sb.insert(3,".w3spoint"));
	}
}
 
public class StringBufferInsertExample {
	public static void main(String args[]){
		//creating TestStringBuffer object
		TestStringBuffer obj = new TestStringBuffer();
 
		//method call
		obj.insertTest();
	}
}
