      StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer("tutorials website");
      System.out.println("buffer = " + buff);

      // character array to be inserted
      char cArr[] = { 'p', 'o', 'i', 'n', 't' };
      
      // insert character array at offset 9
      buff.insert(9, cArr);
 
      // prints stringbuffer after insertion
      System.out.print("After insertion = ");
      System.out.println(buff.toString());
