Appends the string from all the elements separated using separator and using the given prefix and postfix if supplied.

If the collection could be huge, you can specify a non-negative value of limit, in which case only the first limit elements will be appended, followed by the truncated string (which defaults to "...").

import kotlin.test.*

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
//sampleStart
val sb = StringBuilder("An existing string and a list: ")
val numbers = listOf(1, 2, 3)
println(numbers.joinTo(sb, prefix = "[", postfix = "]").toString()) // An existing string and a list: [1, 2, 3]

val lotOfNumbers: Iterable<Int> = 1..100
val firstNumbers = StringBuilder("First five numbers: ")
println(lotOfNumbers.joinTo(firstNumbers, limit = 5).toString()) // First five numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...
//sampleEnd
