Your code will first create a char array and then eventually update char in
the array. As result you will create another copy as a new String. Have you
thought about using a `StringBuilder` directly?
```
final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (char c : candidate) {
if (Character.isLetterOrDigit(c) || c == '_') {
sb.append(c);
}
}
...
return sb.toString();
```
