length() String Method in Java


In Java, the length() string method returns
the total number of characters – the length – of a String str = "Codecademy";
String .
System.out.println(str.length());
// prints 10

concat() String Method in Java


In Java, the concat() string method is used to
append one String to the end of another
String s1 = "Hello";
String . This method returns a String String s2 = " World!";
representing the text of the combined strings.
String s3 = s1.concat(s2);
// concatenates strings s1 and s2

System.out.println(s3);
// prints "Hello World!"

String Method equals() in Java


In Java, the equals() string method tests for
equality between two String s.
String s1 = "Hello";
equals() compares the contents of each String s2 = "World";

String . If all of the characters between the two


System.out.println(s1.equals("Hello"))
match, the method returns true . If any of the
characters do not match, it returns false .
// prints true
Additionally, if you want to compare two strings
without considering upper/lower cases, you can use
.equalsIgnoreCase() . System.out.println(s2.equals("Hello"))

// prints false

System.out.println(s2.equalsIgnoreCase

// prints true

indexOf() String Method in Java


In Java, the indexOf() string method returns
the first occurence of a character or a substring in a String str = "Hello World!";
String . The character/substring that you want
to find the index of goes inside of the () . System.out.println(str.indexOf("l"));
If indexOf() cannot find the character or
substring, it will return -1. // prints 2

System.out.println(str.indexOf("Wor"))

// prints 6

System.out.println(str.indexOf("z"));

// prints -1

charAt() String Method in Java


In Java, the charAt() string method returns
the character of a String at a specified index. String str = "This is a string";
The index value is passed inside of the () , and
System.out.println(str.charAt(0));
should lie between 0 and length()-1 .
// prints 'T'

System.out.println(str.charAt(15));
// prints 'g'

toUpperCase() and toLowerCase() String Methods


In Java, we can easily convert a String to
upper and lower case with the help of a few string String str = "Hello World!";
methods:
String uppercase =
●
toUpperCase() returns the string str.toUpperCase();
value converted to uppercase. // uppercase = "HELLO WORLD!"
●
toLowerCase() returns the string
value converted to lowercase. String lowercase =
str.toLowerCase();
// lowercase = "hello world!"
