Java String Class - Presentation Content
Slide 1: Introduction to the Java String Class
- The `String` class in Java is part of the `java.lang` package. - `String` objects are **immutable**, meaning their values cannot be changed after creation. - Strings in Java are used to store and manipulate text data.
Slide 2: String Class Characteristics
- The `String` class is **final**, meaning it cannot be subclassed. - Java strings are internally represented as a sequence of characters. - All string literals in Java are instances of the `String` class.
- Java maintains a **String Pool** to store unique string literals. - When a new string literal is created, Java checks if it's already in the pool: - If it exists, a reference to the existing string is returned. - If not, the string is added to the pool. - The String Pool helps save memory.
Slide 5: Important String Methods
- **`length()`**: Returns the length of the string. - Example: `str.length()` - **`charAt(int index)`**: Returns character at a specified index. - Example: `str.charAt(2)`
Slide 6: String Comparison Methods
- **`equals(String anotherString)`**: Compares two strings for equality. - Example: `str1.equals(str2)` - **`compareTo(String anotherString)`**: Lexicographically compares two strings. - Example: `str1.compareTo(str2)`
Slide 7: String Manipulation Methods
- **`concat(String str)`**: Concatenates the specified string. - Example: `str1.concat(" World")` - **`replace(char oldChar, char newChar)`**: Replaces characters. - Example: `str.replace('a', 'o')` Slide 8: Substring and Case Conversion - **`substring(int start, int end)`**: Extracts a portion of the string. - Example: `str.substring(1, 4)` - **`toUpperCase()` and `toLowerCase()`**: Converts case. - Example: `str.toUpperCase()`
Slide 9: Searching within Strings
- **`contains(CharSequence s)`**: Checks if sequence exists. - Example: `str.contains("Hello")` - **`indexOf(String str)` and `lastIndexOf(String str)`**: Finds position of a substring. - Example: `str.indexOf("l")`
Slide 10: Trimming and Whitespace Removal
- **`trim()`**: Removes leading and trailing whitespace. - Example: `str.trim()`
Slide 11: String Immutability and Memory Efficiency
- Immutability improves security and caching. - Strings can be safely shared across multiple threads. - The String Pool minimizes duplicate strings in memory.
