Java String

Java String

• String is a sequence of character treated as single unit such as


“Hello World”.

• May include letters, digits, etc.

• String immutable, once a string is created it cannot be changed.


None of its methods changes the string.
Creating a String

• The common way to create a string by using string literals or


using quotes and assign it in a variable;

• Syntax:
• String variableName = “String”;

• String firstName = “Pedro”;


• String lastName = “Penduko”;
• String course = ”Computer Science”;
• String age = “22”;
String concatenation

String firstName = “Pedro”;


String lastName = “Penduko”;
String course = ”Computer Science”;

String BSCS = “Bachelor of science in “ + course

String fullName = firstName + “ “ + lastName;

String newString = firstName.concat(“ “).concat(lastName);


String Methods

String methods in Java are built-in functions that make it easier to


manipulate and work with strings.

Commonly used String Method:


.length() .toLowerCase()
.charAt() .concat()
.equals() .replace()
.equalsIgnoreCase() .trim()
.startWith() .indexOf()
.endWith()
.toUpperCase()
String Methods

The .length() method returns the length of the string.


ex.
String course = "Computer Science";
System.out.println(course.length()); //output: 16

The .charAt() method returns the character at the specified index.


ex.
String course = "Computer Science";
System.out.println(course.charAt(5)); //output: t
String Methods

The .equals() method it compares the strings, it return true if


arguments are the same sequence of character (case-sensitive)
ex.
String string1 = "Hello";
String string2 = "hello";
String string3 = “Hello”

System.out.println(string1.equals(string2)); //Output: false


System.out.println(string1.equals(string3)); //Output: true
String Methods

The .equalsIgnoreCase() method it compares the strings, it return


true if arguments are the same sequence of character but ignoring
case differences.
ex.
String string1 = "Hello";
String string2 = "hello";
String string3 = “Hello”

System.out.println(string1.equalsIgnoreCase(string2));
//Output: true
String Methods

The .startsWith() method checks the string starts with the specified
prefix.
ex.
String string1 = "Hello";

System.out.println(string1.startsWith(“He”)); //Output: true


System.out.println(string1.startsWith(“he”)); //Output: false
String Methods

The .endsWith() method checks the string ends with the specified
prefix.
ex.
String string1 = "Hello";

System.out.println(string1.endsWith(“lo”)); //Output: true


System.out.println(string1.endsWith(“llo”)); //Output: true
System.out.println(string1.endsWith(“lO”)); //Output: false
String Methods

The .toUpperCase() method converts all characters in a string to


uppercase.
ex.
String string1 = "heLLo World!";

System.out.println(string1.toUpperCase());
//Output: HELLO WORLD!
String Methods

The .toLowerCase() method converts all characters in a string to


lowercase.
ex.
String string1 = "heLLo World!";

System.out.println(string1.toLowerCase());
//Output: hello world!
String Methods

The .trim() method removes whitespace from the beginning and


end.
ex.
String string1 = " hello world! ";

System.out.println(string1.trim());
//Output: hello world!
String Methods

The .indexOf() method searches for the first occurence of a


character or substring.
ex.
String string1 = "hello world!”;

System.out.println(string1.indexOf(“o”));
//Output: 4
System.out.println(string1.indexOf(“llo”));
//Output: 2
System.out.println(string1.indexOf(“abc”));
//Output: -1
String Methods

The .contains() method checks if a specified characters exists


within a given string.
ex.
String string1 = "hello world!”;

System.out.println(string1.contains(“llo”));
//Output: true
System.out.println(string1.indexOf(“hi”));
//Output: false
String Methods

The .concat() method combine the specified string to the end of the
first string.
ex.
String string1 = "hello”;
String string2 = “world”

System.out.println(string1.concat(string2));
//Output: helloworld
String Methods

The .concat() method combine the specified string to the end of the
first string.
ex.
String string1 = "hello”;
String string2 = “world”

System.out.println(string1.concat(“kitty”));
//Output: hellokitty
String Methods

The .isEmpty method check if the string is empty.


ex.
String string1 = "”;
String string2;

System.out.println(string1.isEmpty());
//Output: true

System.out.println(string2.isEmpty());
//Output: Error
String Methods

The .substring() method returns a portion of the string from a given


index.
ex.
String string1 = "hello world”;

System.out.println(string1.substring(2));
//Output: llo world

System.out.println(string1.substring(2,8));
//Output: llo wo
String Methods

The .replace() method replace all occurences of a characters in the


string with new characters.
ex.
String string1 = "hello world”;

System.out.println(string1.replace(‘l’, ‘*’));
//Output: he**o wor*d

System.out.println(string1.replace(“ll”, ‘*’));
//Output: he*o world
