    The document discusses various ways of manipulating strings in Java. It describes how to declare strings using reference, constructor, and arrays. Some key string operations covered include concatenation, comparison, searching, replacing, extracting substrings, getting length, and manipulating case. Constructors allow creating string objects in different ways. Methods like indexOf, replace, substring are used to search, modify, and extract portions of strings.

    • A linear sequence of symbols (characters
    or words or phrases)
    • A string is a data type used in
    programming, such as an integer and
    floating point unit.
    • For Ex- “HCL is $5 Billion Enterprise”

    STRING
    Declaring Strings in Java
    • String str=“HCL”(declaring by reference)

    • String str=new String(“Presentation”);


    (declaring by constructer)

    • String[] name={“Lokesh",“
    Sunny",“Rosie",“Aarushe","deepak"};
    (declaring explicitly)
    String Manipulation
    • It includes all the operations performed on
    strings.

    • String manipulation forms the basis of


    many algorithms and utilities. Input
    validation, text analysis and file
    conversions are several direct applications
    of string manipulation.
    Constructors
    •String class provides various types of constructors to create String objects.
    Some of them are,
    String() Creates a new String object whose content is empty i.e. “”.

    •String(String s)
    Creates a new String object whose content is same as the String object passed
    as an argument.

    •String also provides constructors that take byte and char array as argument
    and returns String object.
    •String equality

    String class overrides the equals() method of the Object class. It compares the
    content of the two string object and returns the boolean value accordingly.
    For example,
    String str1=”Hello”;
    String str2=”Hello”;

    If(str1 == str2)
    System.out.println(“Equal 1”);
    Else
    System.out.println(“Not Equal 1”);

    •String Compare

    Apart from these methods String class also provides compareTo methods.
    int compareTo(String str2)
    This method compares two Strings and returns an int value. It returns value 0, if
    this string is equal to the string argument a value less than 0, if this string is
    less than the string argument
    a value greater than 0, if this string is greater than the string argument
    Reading characters from String:

    char charAt(index i)
    Returns char at specified index. An index ranges from 0 to length() -1.

    Searching characters in String


    String class provides indexOf method which searches for the specified character inside
    the string object. This method has been overloaded. If the search is successful, then
    it returns the index of the char otherwise -1 is returned.

    1. int indexOf(int c)
    Returns the index of first occurrence of the argument char.

    2. int indexOf(int c, int fromIndex)


    Finds the index of the first occurrence of the argument character in a string, starting at
    the index specified in the second argument.

    3. int indexOf(String str)


    Finds the start index of the first occurrence of the substring argument in a String.

    4. int lastIndexOf(int ch)


    The String class also provides methods to search for a character or string in backward
    direction.
    Replacing characters in String

    The replace method of String can be used to replace all occurrences of the specified
    character with given character.
    String replace(char oldChar, int newchar)
    Eg.
    L
    ROCK

    Getting substrings

    String class provides substring method to extract specified portion of the given String.
    This method has been overloaded.
    String substring(int startIndex)

    The code given below specifies the starting and the ending index of the string
    String substring(int startIndex, int endIndex)
    Eg. RockMan String SubString

    Here Man substring is removed from RockMan


    Finding the length of string 

    The String class defines the length() method that determines the length of a string. The
    length of a string is the number of characters contained in the string.
    Str.length();
    String str=“Hello”
    System.out.println(str.length());

    Output
    5
    String Concatenation using the + operator 

    The + operator is used to concatenate two strings, producing a new String object as the
    result. For example,

    String sale = "500";


    String s = "Our daily sale is" + sale + "dollars";
    System.out.println(s);

    This code will display the string "Our daily sale is 500 dollars".
    Manipulating Character Case

    String class provides following methods to manipulate character case in String.

    The toUpperCase() method creates a new copy of a string after converting all the
    lowercase letters in the invoking string to uppercase. The signature of the method is
    given below:
    String toUpperCase();
    Eg JAVA
    java

    The toLowerCase() method creates a new copy of a string after converting all the
    uppercase letters in the invoking string to lowercase. The signature of the method is
    given below:
    String toLowerCase() ;

    Eg java
    JAVA

    Trimming
    This method removes white space from the front and the end of a String.
    String trim();

    Eg “ Hello ”
    “Hello” (After trimming)
    Concatenation

    This method returns a string with the value of string passed in to the method appended
    to the end of String which used to invoke the method.

    String.concat(str);

    “Sun” +” java” = “Sunjava”
