An Introduction to Strings in Java
What is a String? • • A String in Java is an object that represents a sequence of characters. • • Strings are immutable, meaning their values cannot be changed after creation. • • Strings are widely used in Java programming to handle text. Creating Strings • • Using String Literals: • String str = "Hello";
• • Using the 'new' Keyword:
• String str = new String("Hello"); Common String Methods • • length(): Returns the length of the string. • Example: str.length();
• • charAt(index): Returns the character at the
specified index. • Example: str.charAt(0);
• • substring(start, end): Extracts a substring.
• Example: str.substring(0, 5); String Comparison • • equals(): Compares the content of two strings. • Example: str1.equals(str2);
String Concatenation • • Using the '+' Operator: • String result = str1 + str2;
• • Using concat() Method:
• String result = str1.concat(str2); String Immutability • • Strings in Java are immutable. • • Once a string is created, it cannot be modified. • • Any operation on a string creates a new string object. Summary • • Strings are an essential part of Java programming. • • Strings are immutable objects. • • Java provides various methods to manipulate and compare strings.
