The trimToSize() method of StringBuilder class is the inbuilt method used to trims the capacity used for the character sequence of StringBuilder object. If the buffer used by StringBuilder object is larger than necessary to hold its current sequence of characters, then this method is called to resize the StringBuilder object for converting this object to more space-efficient. Calling this method may, but is not required to, affect the value returned by a subsequent call to the capacity() method.
Syntax:
public void trimToSize()
Returns: This method does not return anything.
Below programs illustrate the StringBuilder.trimToSize() method:
Example 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// the trimToSize() Method. class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a StringBuilder object // with a String pass as parameter StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder("GeeksForGeeks"); // add more string to StringBuilder str.append("Contribute"); // print capacity System.out.println("Capacity before " + "applying trimToSize() = " + str.capacity()); // applying trimToSize() Method str.trimToSize(); // print string System.out.println("String = " + str.toString()); // print capacity System.out.println("Capacity after" + " applying trimToSize() = " + str.capacity()); }} |
Output:
Capacity before applying trimToSize() = 29 String = GeeksForGeeksContribute Capacity after applying trimToSize() = 23
Example 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// the trimToSize() Method. class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a StringBuilder object // with a String pass as parameter StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder(); // add more string to StringBuilder str.append("GeeksForGeeks classes"); // print capacity System.out.println("Capacity before" + " applying trimToSize() = " + str.capacity()); // applying trimToSize() Method str.trimToSize(); // print string System.out.println("String = " + str.toString()); // print capacity System.out.println("Capacity after " + "applying trimToSize() = " + str.capacity()); }} |
Output:
Capacity before applying trimToSize() = 34 String = GeeksForGeeks classes Capacity after applying trimToSize() = 21
