Remarks
Sets the length of the character sequence. The sequence is changed to a new character sequence whose length is specified by the argument. For every nonnegative index k less than newLength, the character at index k in the new character sequence is the same as the character at index k in the old sequence if k is less than the length of the old character sequence; otherwise, it is the null character '\u005Cu0000'.
In other words, if the newLength argument is less than the current length, the length is changed to the specified length.
If the newLength argument is greater than or equal to the current length, sufficient null characters ('\u005Cu0000') are appended so that length becomes the newLength argument.
The newLength argument must be greater than or equal to 0.
