Learn Java - String Methods Cheatsheet - Codecademy PDF

The document discusses several string methods in Java including length(), concat(), equals(), indexOf(), charAt(), toUpperCase(), and toLowerCase(). It provides examples of how to use each method, what each method returns, and how they can be used to manipulate and compare strings. Specifically, it shows how length() returns the string length, concat() concatenates strings, equals() compares string equality, indexOf() finds substring positions, and charAt() accesses individual characters. It also demonstrates converting strings to uppercase and lowercase with toUpperCase() and toLowerCase().

String Methods
TOPICS

length() String Method in Java


In Java, the length() string method returns the total number of characters – the length – of a String .

String str = "Codecademy";

System.out.println(str.length());
// prints 10

concat() String Method in Java


In Java, the concat() string method is used to append one String to the end of another String . This method returns a String
representing the text of the combined strings.

String s1 = "Hello";
String s2 = " World!";

String s3 = s1.concat(s2);
// concatenates strings s1 and s2

System.out.println(s3);
// prints "Hello World!"

String Method equals() in Java


In Java, the equals() string method tests for equality between two String s.
equals() compares the contents of each String . If all of the characters between the two match, the method returns true . If any of
the characters do not match, it returns false .
Additionally, if you want to compare two strings without considering upper/lower cases, you can use .equalsIgnoreCase() .

String s1 = "Hello";
String s2 = "World";

System.out.println(s1.equals("Hello"));
// prints true

System.out.println(s2.equals("Hello"));
// prints false

System.out.println(s2.equalsIgnoreCase("world"));
// prints true

indexOf() String Method in Java


In Java, the indexOf() string method returns the first occurence of a character or a substring in a String . The character/substring
that you want to find the index of goes inside of the () .
If indexOf() cannot find the character or substring, it will return -1.

String str = "Hello World!";

System.out.println(str.indexOf("l"));
// prints 2

System.out.println(str.indexOf("Wor"));
// prints 6

System.out.println(str.indexOf("z"));
// prints -1

charAt() String Method in Java


In Java, the charAt() string method returns the character of a String at a specified index. The index value is passed inside of the
() , and should lie between 0 and length()-1 .

String str = "This is a string";

System.out.println(str.charAt(0));
// prints 'T'

System.out.println(str.charAt(15));
// prints 'g'

toUpperCase() and toLowerCase() String Methods


In Java, we can easily convert a String to upper and lower case with the help of a few string methods:

● toUpperCase() returns the string value converted to uppercase.

● toLowerCase() returns the string value converted to lowercase.

String str = "Hello World!";

String uppercase = str.toUpperCase();


// uppercase = "HELLO WORLD!"

String lowercase = str.toLowerCase();


// lowercase = "hello world!"
