A `S.Buffer` is OSGL's implementation of JDK's StringBuilder with additional method to track the state of the instance, i.e. decide whether the constructor's buffer has been consumed (via toString() method. **Note** when buffer is consumed (i.e. the `toString()`) method is called, the length of the buffer will be reset to `0`. However the internal char array will be leave as it is. **Note** this class is **NOT** thread safe **Note** Unlike StringBuilder when appending `null` it will **NOT** change the state of this object.

- Constructor Detail
  - Buffer
```
public Buffer()
```
    This no-arg constructor is necessary for serialization of subclasses.
  - Buffer
```
public Buffer(int capacity)
```
    Creates an Buffer of the specified capacity.
- Method Detail
  - consumed
```
public boolean consumed()
```
  - reset
```
public S.Buffer reset()
```
  - length
```
public int length()
```
    Returns the length (character count).
    
    Specified by:
    
    length in interface CharSequence
    
    Returns:
    
    the length of the sequence of characters currently represented by this object
  - capacity
```
public int capacity()
```
    Returns the current capacity. The capacity is the amount of storage available for newly inserted characters, beyond which an allocation will occur.
    
    Returns:
    
    the current capacity
  - ensureCapacity
```
public void ensureCapacity(int minimumCapacity)
```
    Ensures that the capacity is at least equal to the specified minimum. If the current capacity is less than the argument, then a new internal array is allocated with greater capacity. The new capacity is the larger of:
    - The minimumCapacity argument.
    - Twice the old capacity, plus 2.
    If the minimumCapacity argument is nonpositive, this method takes no action and simply returns. Note that subsequent operations on this object can reduce the actual capacity below that requested here.
    Parameters:
    
    minimumCapacity - the minimum desired capacity.
  - trimToSize
```
public void trimToSize()
```
    Attempts to reduce storage used for the character sequence. If the buffer is larger than necessary to hold its current sequence of characters, then it may be resized to become more space efficient. Calling this method may, but is not required to, affect the value returned by a subsequent call to the capacity() method.
  - setLength
```
public void setLength(int newLength)
```
    Sets the length of the character sequence. The sequence is changed to a new character sequence whose length is specified by the argument. For every nonnegative index k less than newLength, the character at index k in the new character sequence is the same as the character at index k in the old sequence if k is less than the length of the old character sequence; otherwise, it is the null character '\u0000'. In other words, if the newLength argument is less than the current length, the length is changed to the specified length.
    If the newLength argument is greater than or equal to the current length, sufficient null characters ('\u0000') are appended so that length becomes the newLength argument.
    The newLength argument must be greater than or equal to 0.
    
    Parameters:
    
    newLength - the new length
    
    Throws:
    
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the newLength argument is negative.
  - charAt
```
public char charAt(int index)
```
    Returns the char value in this sequence at the specified index. The first char value is at index 0, the next at index 1, and so on, as in array indexing.
    The index argument must be greater than or equal to 0, and less than the length of this sequence.
    If the char value specified by the index is a surrogate, the surrogate value is returned.
    
    Specified by:
    
    charAt in interface CharSequence
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - the index of the desired char value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the char value at the specified index.
    
    Throws:
    
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - if index is negative or greater than or equal to length().
  - get
```
public char get(int index)
```
    Alias of charAt(int)
  - codePointAt
```
public int codePointAt(int index)
```
    Returns the character (Unicode code point) at the specified index. The index refers to char values (Unicode code units) and ranges from 0 to length()- 1.
    If the char value specified at the given index is in the high-surrogate range, the following index is less than the length of this sequence, and the char value at the following index is in the low-surrogate range, then the supplementary code point corresponding to this surrogate pair is returned. Otherwise, the char value at the given index is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - the index to the char values
    
    Returns:
    
    the code point value of the character at the index
    
    Throws:
    
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index argument is negative or not less than the length of this sequence.
  - codePointBefore
```
public int codePointBefore(int index)
```
    Returns the character (Unicode code point) before the specified index. The index refers to char values (Unicode code units) and ranges from 1 to length().
    If the char value at (index - 1) is in the low-surrogate range, (index - 2) is not negative, and the char value at (index - 2) is in the high-surrogate range, then the supplementary code point value of the surrogate pair is returned. If the char value at index - 1 is an unpaired low-surrogate or a high-surrogate, the surrogate value is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - the index following the code point that should be returned
    
    Returns:
    
    the Unicode code point value before the given index.
    
    Throws:
    
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index argument is less than 1 or greater than the length of this sequence.
  - codePointCount
```
public int codePointCount(int beginIndex,
                          int endIndex)
```
    Returns the number of Unicode code points in the specified text range of this sequence. The text range begins at the specified beginIndex and extends to the char at index endIndex - 1. Thus the length (in chars) of the text range is endIndex-beginIndex. Unpaired surrogates within this sequence count as one code point each.
    
    Parameters:
    
    beginIndex - the index to the first char of the text range.
    
    endIndex - the index after the last char of the text range.
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of Unicode code points in the specified text range
    
    Throws:
    
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the beginIndex is negative, or endIndex is larger than the length of this sequence, or beginIndex is larger than endIndex.
  - offsetByCodePoints
```
public int offsetByCodePoints(int index,
                              int codePointOffset)
```
    Returns the index within this sequence that is offset from the given index by codePointOffset code points. Unpaired surrogates within the text range given by index and codePointOffset count as one code point each.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - the index to be offset
    
    codePointOffset - the offset in code points
    
    Returns:
    
    the index within this sequence
    
    Throws:
    
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - if index is negative or larger then the length of this sequence, or if codePointOffset is positive and the subsequence starting with index has fewer than codePointOffset code points, or if codePointOffset is negative and the subsequence before index has fewer than the absolute value of codePointOffset code points.
  - getChars
```
public void getChars(int srcBegin,
                     int srcEnd,
                     char[] dst,
                     int dstBegin)
```
    Characters are copied from this sequence into the destination character array dst. The first character to be copied is at index srcBegin; the last character to be copied is at index srcEnd-1. The total number of characters to be copied is srcEnd-srcBegin. The characters are copied into the subarray of dst starting at index dstBegin and ending at index:
```
 dstbegin + (srcEnd-srcBegin) - 1
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    srcBegin - start copying at this offset.
    
    srcEnd - stop copying at this offset.
    
    dst - the array to copy the data into.
    
    dstBegin - offset into dst.
    
    Throws:
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - if any of the following is true:
    
    srcBegin is negative
    dstBegin is negative
    the srcBegin argument is greater than the srcEnd argument.
    srcEnd is greater than this.length().
    dstBegin+srcEnd-srcBegin is greater than dst.length
  - setCharAt
```
public void setCharAt(int index,
                      char ch)
```
    The character at the specified index is set to ch. This sequence is altered to represent a new character sequence that is identical to the old character sequence, except that it contains the character ch at position index.
    The index argument must be greater than or equal to 0, and less than the length of this sequence.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - the index of the character to modify.
    
    ch - the new character.
    
    Throws:

    Replaces the characters in a substring of this sequence with characters in the specified String. The substring begins at the specified start and extends to the character at index end - 1 or to the end of the sequence if no such character exists. First the characters in the substring are removed and then the specified String is inserted at start. (This sequence will be lengthened to accommodate the specified String if necessary.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    start - The beginning index, inclusive.
    
    end - The ending index, exclusive.

    Parameters:
    
    start - The beginning index, inclusive.
    
    Returns:
    
    The new string.

public S.Buffer insert(int offset,
                       Object obj)
```
    Inserts the string representation of the Object argument into this character sequence.
    The overall effect is exactly as if the second argument were converted to a string by the method String.valueOf(Object), and the characters of that string were then inserted into this character sequence at the indicated offset.
    The offset argument must be greater than or equal to 0, and less than or equal to the length of this sequence.
    
    Parameters:
    
    offset - the offset.
    
    obj - an Object.
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this object.

public S.Buffer insert(int offset,
                       String str)
```
    Inserts the string into this character sequence.
    The characters of the String argument are inserted, in order, into this sequence at the indicated offset, moving up any characters originally above that position and increasing the length of this sequence by the length of the argument. If str is null, then the four characters "null" are inserted into this sequence.
    The character at index k in the new character sequence is equal to:
    - the character at index k in the old character sequence, if k is less than offset
    - the character at index k-offset in the argument str, if k is not less than offset but is less than offset+str.length()
    - the character at index k-str.length() in the old character sequence, if k is not less than offset+str.length()
    The offset argument must be greater than or equal to 0, and less than or equal to the length of this sequence.
    Parameters:
    
    offset - the offset.
    
    str - a string.
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this object.

```
    Inserts the string representation of the char array argument into this sequence.
    The characters of the array argument are inserted into the contents of this sequence at the position indicated by offset. The length of this sequence increases by the length of the argument.
    The overall effect is exactly as if the second argument were converted to a string by the method String.valueOf(char[]), and the characters of that string were then inserted into this character sequence at the indicated offset.
    The offset argument must be greater than or equal to 0, and less than or equal to the length of this sequence.

```
    Inserts the specified CharSequence into this sequence.
    The characters of the CharSequence argument are inserted, in order, into this sequence at the indicated offset, moving up any characters originally above that position and increasing the length of this sequence by the length of the argument s.
    The result of this method is exactly the same as if it were an invocation of this object's insert(dstOffset, s, 0, s.length()) method.
    If s is null, then the four characters "null" are inserted into this sequence.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dstOffset - the offset.
    
    s - the sequence to be inserted
    
    Returns:

                       int start,
                       int end)
```
    Inserts a subsequence of the specified CharSequence into this sequence.
    The subsequence of the argument s specified by start and end are inserted, in order, into this sequence at the specified destination offset, moving up any characters originally above that position. The length of this sequence is increased by end - start.
    The character at index k in this sequence becomes equal to:
    - the character at index k in this sequence, if k is less than dstOffset
    - the character at index k+start-dstOffset in the argument s, if k is greater than or equal to dstOffset but is less than dstOffset+end-start
    - the character at index k-(end-start) in this sequence, if k is greater than or equal to dstOffset+end-start
    The dstOffset argument must be greater than or equal to 0, and less than or equal to the length of this sequence.
    The start argument must be nonnegative, and not greater than end.
    The end argument must be greater than or equal to start, and less than or equal to the length of s.
    If s is null, then this method inserts characters as if the s parameter was a sequence containing the four characters "null".
    Parameters:
    
    dstOffset - the offset in this sequence.
    
    s - the sequence to be inserted.
    
    start - the starting index of the subsequence to be inserted.

  - reverse
```
public S.Buffer reverse()
```
    Causes this character sequence to be replaced by the reverse of the sequence. If there are any surrogate pairs included in the sequence, these are treated as single characters for the reverse operation. Thus, the order of the high-low surrogates is never reversed. Let n be the character length of this character sequence (not the length in char values) just prior to execution of the reverse method. Then the character at index k in the new character sequence is equal to the character at index n-k-1 in the old character sequence.
    Note that the reverse operation may result in producing surrogate pairs that were unpaired low-surrogates and high-surrogates before the operation. For example, reversing "\uDC00\uD800" produces "\uD800\uDC00" which is a valid surrogate pair.
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this object.
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns a string representing the data in this sequence. A new String object is allocated and initialized to contain the character sequence currently represented by this object. This String is then returned. Subsequent changes to this sequence do not affect the contents of the String. After this method is called, the buffer of this Buffer instance will be reset to 0, meaning this Buffer is consumed
    
    Specified by:
    
    toString in interface CharSequence
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a string representation of this sequence of characters.
