value - the value to set 'this' object to.

setValue

public void setValue(char[] value)

Set the value of 'this' object to an array of char.

Specified by:

setValue in class AbstractString

Parameters:

value - the value to set 'this' object to.

stringValue

public final java.lang.String stringValue()

Get the value of 'this' object as a String.

Specified by:

stringValue in class AbstractString

Returns:

the String value of 'this' object.

getSize

public int getSize()

Used to get the length of 'this' object in characters.

Specified by:

getSize in class AbstractString

Returns:

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Clone 'this' object.
