Re: Converting char(s) into String

Maybe a less confusing way to do this is this:

StringBuffer strBuf = new StringBuffer();
strBuff.append(s1.charAt(0));
strBuff.append(s1.charAt(5));
String str = strBuff.toString();

One thing to be aware of is that passing a char to the constructor does not do what you may expect.

String str =
new StringBuilder(s1.charAt(0)).append(s2.charAt(5)).toString();

You don't need to go through StringBuffer (or better StringBuilder) for something this simple.

String str = String.valueOf(new char[] { s1.charAt(0), s1.charAt(5) });
