Example: String Allocations in Gen:0
We show a common coding mistake where integers and constants are converted to strings before being fed into a StringBuilder, generating thousands of unnecessary short-lived string objects per loop. The lesson demonstrates the correct approach of using strongly-typed Append overload, and chaining multiple calls together instead of using the + operator.
