String and StringBuffer conversions

[Elleri]

What would be the best way to convert string concatenations to stringbuffer appends. I know if has a performance impact overall. For example, I want to output to the user: The count was somenumber.

Here's my line

System.out.println ("The count was " + countvariable + ".\n"

Where countvariable is an int.

And do I have to convert stringbuffers back to strings?

Hi,

I think this is the best way to concatenate Strings:

StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(0);

sb.append("The count was&quot.append(countvar).append(".\n"
System.out.println(sb);

Or if you want to convert StingBuffer back to String, simply use:
String str = sb.toString();
