Study Notes
Java String Overview
- A string is a sequence of characters treated as a single unit, like "Hello World"
- Strings can include letters, digits, and other characters
- Strings are immutable; once created, they cannot be changed. String methods do not modify the original string, instead they return a new string.
Creating a String
- Typical string creation involves using string literals (characters enclosed in double quotes) and assigning them to a variable.
-
Syntax:
String variableName = "String"; - Example:
-
String firstName = "Pedro"; -
String course = "Computer Science"; -
String age = "22";
-
String Concatenation
- Combining multiple strings:
String fullName = firstName + " " + lastName;orString newString = firstName.concat(" ").concat(lastName);
String Methods
-
Built-in functions for manipulating strings.
-
.length(): Returns the length of the string
- Example:
System.out.println(course.length());(outputs: Length of the string)
- Example:
-
.charAt(): Returns the character at a specific index (position) in the string
- Example:
System.out.println(course.charAt(5));(outputs: Character at position 5)
- Example:
-
.equals(): Compares strings, returning
trueif they are the same (case-sensitive).- Example:
System.out.println(string1.equals(string1));(outputs: true)
- Example:
-
.equalsIgnoreCase(): Compares strings, returning
trueif they are the same ignoring case- Example:
System.out.println(string1.equalsIgnoreCase(string2));(outputs: true, where string2 is lowercase equivalent to string1)
- Example:
-
.startsWith(): Checks if a string starts with a specified prefix
- Example:
System.out.println(string1.startsWith("He"));(outputs: true, if string1 starts with "He")
- Example:
-
.endsWith(): Checks if a string ends with a specified suffix
- Example:
System.out.println(string1.endsWith("lo"));(outputs: true, if string1 ends with "lo")
- Example:
-
.toUpperCase(): Converts all characters to uppercase
-
Example:
System.out.println(string1.toUpperCase());(outputs: HELLO WORLD!) -
.toLowerCase(): Converts all characters to lowercase
- Example:
System.out.println(string1.toLowerCase());(outputs hello world!)
- Example:
-
.trim(): Removes whitespace from the beginning and end of a string
- Example:
System.out.println(string1.trim());(outputs string without leading/trailing whitespace)
- Example:
-
.concat(): Appends one string to another
- Example:
System.out.println(string1.concat(string2));(outputs combined string)
- Example:
-
.indexOf(): Finds the index of the first occurrence of a character or substring.
- Example:
System.out.println(string1.indexOf("llo"));(outputs index where substring "llo" first appears)
- Example:
-
.replace(): Replaces all occurrences of a character or substring with another one (Not shown in example)
