String Methods

length() String Method in Java

In Java, the length() string method returns the total String str = "Codecademy";
number of characters – the length – of a String .

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

indexOf() String Method in Java

In Java, the indexOf() string method returns the String str = "Hello World!";
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 () . System.out.println(str.indexOf("l"));
If indexOf() cannot find the character or substring, // prints 2
it will return -1.

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

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

concat() String Method in Java

In Java, the concat() string method is used to String s1 = "Hello";


append one String to the end of another
String s2 = " World!";
String . This method returns a String
representing the text of the combined strings.
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 String s1 = "Hello";


equality between two String s.
String s2 = "World";
equals() compares the contents of each
String . If all of the characters between the two
match, the method returns true . If any of the System.out.println(s1.equals("Hello"));
characters do not match, it returns false . // prints true
Additionally, if you want to compare two strings without
considering upper/lower cases, you can use
.equalsIgnoreCase() . System.out.println(s2.equals("Hello"));
// prints false

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

charAt() String Method in Java

In Java, the charAt() string method returns the String str = "This is a string";
character of a String at a specified index. The index
value is passed inside of the () , and should lie between
0 and length()-1 . 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 String str = "Hello World!";
lower case with the help of a few string methods:
toUpperCase() returns the string value
converted to uppercase. String uppercase = str.toUpperCase();
toLowerCase() returns the string value // uppercase = "HELLO WORLD!"
converted to lowercase.

String lowercase = str.toLowerCase();


// lowercase = "hello world!"
