Java Code Example :
This java example source code demonstrates the use of codePointBefore(int index) method of StringBuffer class. Initially the code assigns a string “javatutorialhq.com” as initial contents of the string buffer. Then we use the codePointBefore(int index) of the StringBuffer at index 5.
package com.javatutorialhq.java.examples;
/*
* This example source code demonstrates the use of codePointBefore(int index)
* method of StringBuffer class
*/
public class StringBufferCodePointBefore {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// initialize the StringBuffer object
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("javatutorialhq.com");
System.out.println("Contents of buffer:" + sb);
// get the codePointBefore on index 5
int index = 5;
System.out.println("CodepointBefore on index " + index + " is "
+ sb.codePointBefore(index));
}
}
Sample Output :
Running the codePointBefore(int index) method example source code of StringBuffer class will give you the following output
