Java Strings

Strings are used for storing text.

A String variable contains a collection of characters surrounded by double


quotes:

Example
Create a variable of type String and assign it a value:

String greeting = "Hello";


Run example »

String Length
A String in Java is actually an object, which contain methods that can
perform certain operations on strings. For example, the length of a string
can be found with the length() method:

Example
String txt = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
System.out.println("The length of the txt string is:
" + txt.length());
Run example »

More String Methods


There are many string methods available, for
example toUpperCase() and toLowerCase():

Example
String txt = "Hello World";
System.out.println(txt.toUpperCase()); // Outputs "HELLO WORLD"
System.out.println(txt.toLowerCase()); // Outputs "hello world"
Run example »

Finding a String in a String


The indexOf() method returns the index (the position) of the first
occurrence of a specified text in a string (including whitespace):

Example
String txt = "Please locate where 'locate' occurs!";
System.out.println(txt.indexOf("locate")); // Outputs 7
Run example »

Java counts positions from zero.


0 is the first position in a string, 1 is the second, 2 is the third ...

String Concatenation
The + operator can be used between strings to add them together to make
a new string. This is called concatenation:

Example
String firstName = "John";
String lastName = "Doe";
System.out.println(firstName + " " + lastName);
Run example »

Note that we have added an empty text (" ") to create a space between
firstName and lastName on print.

You can also use the concat() method to concatenate two strings:
Example
String firstName = "John ";
String lastName = "Doe";
System.out.println(firstName.concat(lastName));
