String Handling in Java

String handling in Java involves creating and manipulating string objects. Strings can be created using string literals or the new keyword. The String class provides various methods like length(), charAt(), substring() for working with strings. These methods allow retrieving characters, substrings, comparing and modifying strings. Strings are immutable in Java.

String Handling in Java

Introduction
• Strings are defined as an array of characters. The
difference between a character array and a string is
the string is terminated with a special character
‘\0’.
• In Java, a string is an object that represents a
sequence of characters.
• The java.lang.String class is used to create string
object.
•  In java, objects of String are immutable which
means a constant and cannot be changed once
created.
Creating Strings
• By string literal : Java String literal is created
by using double quotes.
For Example: String s=“Welcome”;  
• By new keyword : by using a keyword “new”.
For example: 
String s=new String(“Welcome”);  
String Methods

• int length(): Returns the number of characters


in the String. String s = “hello world”
Eg: s.length(); // returns 12
• Char charAt(int i): Returns the character at ith
index. Eg: s.charAt(3); // returns ‘l’
• String substring (int i): Return the substring
from the ith  index character to end.
Eg: s.string(3); // returns “lo world”
// Java code to illustrate different constructors and methods 
// String class.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class Test
{
    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
        String s= "GeeksforGeeks";
        // or String s= new String ("GeeksforGeeks");
  
        // Returns the number of characters in the String.
        System.out.println("String length = " + s.length());
  
        // Returns the character at ith index.
        System.out.println("Character at 3rd position = “+ s.charAt(3));
  
        // Return the substring from the ith  index character to end of string
        System.out.println("Substring " + s.substring(3));
  
        
               
  
// Returns the substring from i to j-1 index.
        System.out.println("Substring  = " + s.substring(2,5));

// Concatenates string2 to the end of string1.


        String s1 = "Geeks";         String s2 = "forGeeks";
        System.out.println("Concatenated string  = " + s1.concat(s2));

 // Returns the index within the string of the first occurrence of the
specified string.
        String s4 = "Learn Share Learn";
        System.out.println("Index of Share " +   s4.indexOf("Share"));
  
// Returns the index within the string of the first occurrence of the
specified string, starting at the specified index.
        System.out.println("Index of a  = " +  s4.indexOf('a',3));
  
 // Checking equality of Strings
        Boolean out = "Geeks".equals("geeks");
        System.out.println("Checking Equality  " + out);
        out = "Geeks".equals("Geeks");
        System.out.println("Checking Equality  " + out);
  
        out = "Geeks".equalsIgnoreCase("gEeks ");
        System.out.println("Checking Equality " + out);
  
        int out1 = s1.compareTo(s2);
        System.out.println("If s1 = s2 " + out);
  
      
   // Converting cases
        String word1 = "GeeKyMe";
    System.out.println ("Changing to lower Case " +
word1.toLowerCase());
          // Converting cases
        String word2 = "GeekyME";
System.out.println("Changing to UPPER Case " +
 word1.toUpperCase());
          // Trimming the word
        String word4 = " Learn Share Learn ";
        System.out.println("Trim the word " + word4.trim());
       
    // Replacing characters
        String str1 = "feeksforfeeks";
        System.out.println("Original String " + str1);
        String str2 = "feeksforfeeks".replace('f' ,'g') ;
        System.out.println("Replaced f with g -> " + str2);
    } 
}
Output:
String length = 13
Character at 3rd position = k
Substring ksforGeeks
Substring = eks
Concatenated string = GeeksforGeeks
Index of Share 6
Index of a = 8
Checking Equality false
Checking Equality true
Checking Equality false
If s1 = s2 false
Changing to lower Case geekyme
Changing to UPPER Case GEEKYME
Trim the word Learn Share Learn
Original String feeksforfeeks
Replaced f with g -> geeksgorgeeks
