String class Methods


METHOD DESCRIPTION
length() returns length of string
charAt(index) return character at specified index
indexOf('char') returns index of specified character
which is first occurrence
lastIndexOf('char') returns last index of specified
character which is first
occurance
toLowerCase() returns string into lower case
toUpperCase() returns string into upper case
trim() remove spaces from begin and end of
string
replace('old','new') replaces specified old character with
new character
concat(string) concatenate strings
equals(string) to compare string content and
returns true if string equals or
otherwise returns false.

case-sensitive and returns true if
string equals otherwise returns false.
comapreTo(string) To compare one string with another
string.
split() decompose the entire string into
smaller pieces where space or
required delimiter occurred.

Example on length, charAt(), toLowerCase(), toUpperCase()

class demo1
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
String str1="This is book on java, I like it";
int len=str1.length();
System.out.println(str1);
System.out.println("The length is "+len);
System.out.println("The character at 8th position is
"+str1.charAt(8));
System.out.println("The lowercase string is
"+str1.toLowerCase());
System.out.println("The Upper case string is
"+str1.toUpperCase());
System.out.println(str1);
}
}
Example on trim(), indexOf(), lastIndexOf()

class demo2
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
String str1=" This is book on java, I like it ";
System.out.println("The index of 'j' is "+str1.indexOf('is'));
System.out.println("The last index of 's' is "+str1.indexOf('is'));
System.out.println(str1);
System.out.println("With trim");
System.out.prinln(str1.trim());
