String

String
Implementing strings as built-in objects
allows Java to provide a full complement of
features that make string handling convenient.

The String Constructors


String s = new String();
String(char chars[ ], int startIndex, int numChars)
char chars[] = { 'a', 'b', 'c' }; String s = new
String(chars)
Program : 1

String Length

The length of a string is the number of


characters that it contains. To obtain this value,
call the length( ) method, shown here:
int length( )
Program2:
String Concatenation
Java does not allow operators to be applied to
String objects.
The one exception to this rule is the + operator,
which concatenates two strings, producing a
String object as the result.
String age = "9";
String s = "He is " + age + " years old.";
System.out.println(s);
charAt( )
• To extract a single character from a String, you can refer
directly to an individual character via the charAt( ) method.
• char charAt(int where)
• The value of where must be nonnegative and specify a
location within the string.
• charAt( ) returns the character at the specified location.
• For example,
char ch;
ch = "abc".charAt(1);
assigns the value b to ch.
String Comparison
• equals( ) and equalsIgnoreCase()

boolean equals(Object str)


boolean equalsIgnoreCase(String str)

Program3:
startsWith( ) and endsWith( )
boolean startsWith(String str)
boolean endsWith(String str)

For example,
"Foobar".endsWith("bar")
"Foobar".startsWith("Foo")
are both true.

"Foobar".startsWith("bar", 3)  TRUE
compareTo( )
• int compareTo(String str)
if(s1.compareTo(s2))
Searching Strings
• indexOf( ) Searches for the first occurrence of a
character or substring.
• lastIndexOf( ) Searches for the last occurrence of
a character or substring
int indexOf(int ch, int startIndex)
int lastIndexOf(int ch, int startIndex)
int indexOf(String str, int startIndex)
int lastIndexOf(String str, int startIndex)
Program 4
• substring( )
• The first is String substring(int startIndex)
• The second form of substring( ) allows you to
specify both the beginning and ending index
of the substring:
• String substring(int startIndex, int endIndex)
• Program 5:
concat( )
• String concat(String str)
• String s1 = "one";
• String s2 = s1.concat("two");
trim( )
• Method returns a copy of the invoking string
from which any leading and trailing
whitespace has been removed. It has this
general form: String trim( )
• Here is an example:
• String s = " Hello World ".trim();
