[Newbies] appending Strings

[Mariano Abel Coca]

Just check it by yourself. ;)

|result|
100 timesRepeat:
[ result := String new.
4000 timesRepeat: [ result := result, 'abcdefg' ]].
^result


|writer|
100 timesRepeat:
[ writer := WriteStream on: String new.
4000 timesRepeat: [ writer nextPutAll:'abcdefg' ]].
^writer contents
Cheers,
