This method is identical to the addString() method but here a separator is also included.
Method Definition: def addString(b: StringBuilder, sep: String): StringBuilder Where, sep is the separator stated. Return Type: It returns the elements of the map in the String Builder and a separator is also added between the elements of the map.
Example #1: Scala
// Scala program of addString()
// method with a separator

// Creating object
object GfG
{ 

    // Main method
    def main(args:Array[String])
    {
    
        // Creating a map
        val m1 = Map("geeks" -> 5, "for" -> 3, "cs" -> 2)
        
        // Applying addString method
        // and a separator
        val result = m1.addString(new StringBuilder(), "_") 
        
        // Displays output
        println(result)
    
    }
}
Output:
geeks -> 5_for -> 3_cs -> 2
Example #2: Scala
// Scala program of addString()
// method with a separator

// Creating object
object GfG
{ 

    // Main method
    def main(args:Array[String])
    {
    
        // Creating a map
        val m1 = Map("geeks" -> 5, "for" -> 3, "geeks" -> 2)
        
        // Applying addString method
        // and a separator
        val result = m1.addString(new StringBuilder(), "_") 
        
        // Displays output
        println(result)
        
    }
}
Output:
geeks -> 2_for -> 3
So, here the identical keys are removed.
