    OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING
    LAB 2: ARRAY CLASS, STRING CLASS
    I. Objective
    After completing this tutorial, you can:

    • Understand how to program with Array.

    • Understand how to program with String.

    II. Array Class

    This class contains various static methods for manipulating arrays. Many of the methods have unique
    specifications for each of the primitive types (boolean, byte, char, short, int, long, float, double).
    Though only the methods for the primitive types are specifically discussed, many of the methods also
    support an array of elements of type Object and generic types.

    To simplify the presentations of these methods, ptype will be used as a placeholder


    for a primitive type.

    1. copyOf(ptype[ ] original, int newLength)


    Copies the specified array of primitive types, truncating or padding (if needed) so the copy has the
    specified length. If padding is necessary, the numeric types will pad with zero, char will pad with null,
    and boolean will pad with false.

    Example:

    int[] org = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};


    int[] copy = Arrays.copyOf(org, 3); //copy = [1, 2, 3];

    2. copyOfRange(ptype[ ] original, int beginIndex, int endIndex)


    Copies the range beginIndex to endIndex-1 of the specified array into a new array. The
    index beginIndex muse lies between zero and original.length, inclusive. As long as there are
    values to copy, the value at original[beginIndex] is placed into the first element of the new array,
    with subsequent elements in the original array placed into subsequent elements in the new array. Note
    that beginIndex must be less than or equal to endIndex. The length of the returned array will
    be endIndex - beginIndex.

    Example:

    int[] org = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};


    int[] copy = Arrays.copyOfRange(org, 1, 6); //copy = [2, 3, 4, 5, 0];

    3. toString(ptype[ ] a)
    Return the string representation of the contents of the specified array, The resulting string consists of a
    list of the array's elements, separated by a comma and a space, enclosed in square brackets ("[ ]"). It
    returns null if the array is null.

    Example:

    int[] org = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};


    String copy = Arrays.toString(org, 3);
    System.out.println(copy); // [1, 2, 3]

    4. sort(ptype[ ] a)
    Sorts the array into ascending order. For floating point values, the method uses the total order imposed
    by the appropriate compareTo() method and all NaN values are considered equivalent and equal. This
    method is not defined for boolean and short.

    Example:

    int intArr[] = {10, 20, 15, 22, 35};


    Arrays.sort(intArr);
    System.out.println(intArr); //[10, 15, 20, 22, 35]

    5. binarySearch(ptype[ ]a, ptype key)


    Searches the array for the key value using the binary search algorithm. The array must be sorted before
    making this call. If it is not sorted, the results are undefined. If the array contains duplicate elements
    with the key value, there is no guarantee which one will be found. For floating point types, this method
    considers all NaN values to be equivalent and equal. The method is not defined for boolean or short.

    Example:

    int intArr[] = {10, 20, 15, 22, 35};


    Arrays.sort(intArr);
    int index = Arrays.binarySearch(intArr, 22);
    System.out.println(index); //3

    III. The class String


    Java provides a class String in the package java.lang to support nonmutable strings. A nonmutable
    string is one that cannot be changed once it has been created. Instances of the String class can be
    combined to form new strings, and numerous methods are provided for examining String objects. A
    String variable contains a collection of characters surrounded by double quotes.

    Create a variable of type String and assign it a value:

    String greeting = "Hello";

    1. length()
    A String in Java is actually an object, which contains methods that can perform certain operations on
    strings. For example, the length of a string can be found with the length()method:

    String greeting = "Hello";


    System.out.println("The length of the greeting string is: " + greeting.length());
    // The length of the greeting string is: 5

    2. charAt(int index)
    You can reference the individual characters in a string by using the method charAt() with the same
    index that you would use for an array.

    String greeting = "Hello";


    System.out.println("greeting.charAt(1)); // e

    3. compareTo(String str)
    You should not use the == operator to test whether two strings are equal. Using the == operator
    determines only whether the references to the strings are the same; it does not compare the contents of
    the String instances. You can compare strings by using the compareTo()method. Not only can you
    determine whether two strings are equal, but you can determine which of two strings comes before the
    other according to the Unicode table.

    "Star".compareTo("star"); //returns negative


    "abc".compareTo("abc"; //returns zero
    "d".compareTo("abc"); //returns positive

    4. concat(String str)
    You can use the concat() method to concatenate two strings. You can also concatenate two strings to
    form another string by using the + operator.

    "Hello".concat(" Wolrd");

    String greeting = "Hello";


    greeting += " Wolrd";
    Besides adding two strings together, you can also concatenate a string and a value of a primitive type
    together by using the + operator.

    String string = "PI = " + 3.14;


    // PI = 3.14

    5. substring(int begin, int end)


    Using substring() to access part of a string.

    String title = "J Perfect's Diary";


    System.out.println(title.substring(2, 9)); // Perfect

    6. indexOf(String str, int fromIndex)


    Returns the index of the first substring equal to str starting from the index fromIndex.

    7. replace(char oldChar, char newChar)


    Returns a string that is obtained by replacing all characters oldChar in the string with newChar.

    8. trim()
    Returns a string that has all leading and trailing spaces in the original string removed.
