----
String message = "Hello " + "world" + "!";  // Noncompliant
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("I'm pleased").append(" to meet you.");  //Noncompliant

== Compliant Solution

----
String message = "Hello world!";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("I'm pleased to meet you.");
