    STRINGS

    String()
    String s = new String();

    String(char chars[ ])
    char chars[] = { 'a', 'b', 'c' }; String s = new String(chars);

    String(char chars[ ], int startIndex, int numChars)


    char chars[]={ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f' }; String s = new String(chars, 2, 3);

    String Constructors

    String(String strObj)
    char c[] = {'J', 'a', 'v', 'a'}; String s1 = new String(c); String s2 = new String(s1);

    String(byte asciiChars[ ])
    byte ascii[] = {65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70 }; String s1 = new String(ascii);

    String(byte asciiChars[ ], int startIndex, int numChars)


    byte ascii[] = {65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70 }; String s2 = new String(ascii, 2, 3);

    String Length
    int length()

    String Literals
    String s2 = "abc"; // use string literal

    String Concatenation + operator, which concatenates two strings, producing a


    String object as the result. String longStr = "This could have been " + "a very long line that would have " + "wrapped around.But string concatenation" + "prevents this.";

    Some Special Methods

    String Concatenation with Other Data Types


    Example-1:
    int age = 9; String s = "He is " +age+ " years old."; System.out.println(s);

    Example-2:
    String s = "four: " + 2 + 2; System.out.println(s);

    toString()
    String toString()

    Example-1:
    // Override toString() for Box class. class Box { double width; double height; double depth; Box(double w, double h, double d) { width = w; height = h; depth = d; 6 }

    public String toString() { return "Dimensions are " + width + " by " + depth + " by " + height + "."; } } class toStringDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { Box b = new Box(10, 12, 14); // concatenate Box object String s = "Box b: " + b; // convert Box to string System.out.println(b); System.out.println(s); } 7 }

    charAt( )
    char charAt(int where)

    getChars( )
    void getChars(int sourceStart, int sourceEnd, char target[], int targetStart)

    getBytes( )
    byte[] getBytes()

    toCharArray( )
    char[] toCharArray()

    Character Extraction

    equals( ) and equalsIgnoreCase( )


    boolean equals(Object str) boolean equalsIgnoreCase(String str)

    regionMatches( )
    boolean regionMatches(int startIndex, String str2, int str2StartIndex, int numChars) boolean regionMatches(boolean ignoreCase, int startIndex, String str2, int str2StartIndex, int numChars)

    String Comparison

    startsWith( ) and endsWith( )


    boolean startsWith(String str) boolean endsWith(String str)

    compareTo( )
    int compareTo(String str) int compareToIgnoreCase(String str) Value Less than zero Zero Meaning The invoking string is less than str. The two strings are equal.

    Greater than zero The invoking string is greater than str.

    10

    indexOf( )
    int int int int indexOf(int ch) indexOf(String str) indexOf(int ch, int startIndex) indexOf(String str, int startIndex)

    lastIndexOf( )
    int int int int lastIndexOf(int ch) lastIndexOf(String str) lastIndexOf(int ch, int startIndex ) lastIndexOf(String str, int startIndex)

    Searching Strings

    substring( )
    String substring(int startIndex) String substring(int startIndex, int endIndex)

    concat( )
    String concat(String str)

    replace( )
    String replace(char original, char replacement) String replaceAll(String original, String replacement)

    trim( )
    String trim( )

    Modifying a String

    12

    valueOf( )
    static static static static String String String String valueOf(double num) valueOf(long num) valueOf(Object ob) valueOf(char chars[])

    Changing the Case


    String toLowerCase() String toUpperCase()

    Decomposing
    String[] split(String regExp) String[] split(String regExp, int max)

    Data & Case Conversion

    13

    StringBuffer( )
    The default constructor reserves room for 16 characters without reallocation.

    StringBuffer(int size)
    This version accepts an integer argument that explicitly sets the size of the buffer.

    StringBuffer(String str)
    This version accepts a String argument that sets the initial contents of the StringBuffer object and reserves room for 16 more characters without reallocation.

    StringBuffer Constructors 14

    int length() int capacity() void ensureCapacity(int capacity) void setLength(int len) char charAt(int where) void setCharAt(int where, char ch) void getChars(int sourceStart, int sourceEnd, char target[], int targetStart)

    Some Methods

    15

    append( )
    StringBuffer append(String str) StringBuffer append(int num) StringBuffer append(Object obj)

    insert( )
    StringBuffer insert(int index, String str) StringBuffer insert(int index, char ch) StringBuffer insert(int index, Object obj)

    reverse( )
    StringBuffer reverse()

    delete( ) and deleteCharAt( )


    StringBuffer delete(int startIndex, int endIndex) StringBuffer deleteCharAt(int loc)

    16

    replace( )
    StringBuffer replace(int startIndex, int endIndex, String str)

    substring( )
