148. Using 'getChars( )' method with StringBuffer

getChars( ) when used with StringBuffer will extract the substring from the specified string and copies the extracted substring into a char array.

Example:

StringBuffer object1 = new StringBuffer("SuperSunShine");
char targetCharArray[ ] = new char[3];

object1.getChars(5,8, targetCharArray, 0); -> This will extract the substring from the specified string "SuperSunShine" using the provided Start Index 5 and End Index (8-1) i.e. "Sun" in the specified string "SuperSunShine" and copies the extracted substring "Sun" to char array "tagetCharArray" from targetCharArray[0] i.e. 0 index.

Lets implement this on Eclipse IDE:

1. Create 'getCharsDemo' class under any project as shown below:

2. Save and Run the 'getCharsDemo' class file
3. Observe that the output is displayed in the console as shown below:
