The use of a ``++StringBuilder++`` or ``++StringBuffer++`` is supposed to make ``++String++`` assembly more efficient than plain concatenation. So don't ruin the effect by concatenating the arguments to ``++append++``. == Noncompliant Code Example ---- StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.append("foo is: " + getFoo()); // Noncompliant ---- == Compliant Solution ---- StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.append("foo is: ").append(getFoo()); ---- ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Implementation Specification (visible only on this page) include::message.adoc[] endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
