String Methods
length() String Method in Java
In Java, the length() string method returns the total
number of characters – the length – of a String . String str = "Codecademy";

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 . This String s1 = "Hello";
method returns a String representing the text of the String s2 = " World!";
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 . If all String s2 = "World";
of the characters between the two match, the method
returns true . If any of the characters do not match, it System.out.println(s1.equals("Hello"));
returns false .
// prints true
Additionally, if you want to compare two strings without
considering upper/lower cases, you can use
System.out.println(s2.equals("Hello"));
.equalsIgnoreCase() .
// prints false

System.out.println(s2.equalsIgnoreCase("w
orld"));
// 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 . String str = "Hello World!";
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 // prints 2
will return -1.

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. The index String str = "This is a string";
value is passed inside of the () , and should lie
between 0 and length()-1 . System.out.println(str.charAt(0));
// 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 methods: String str = "Hello World!";

toUpperCase() returns the string value converted


String uppercase = str.toUpperCase();
to uppercase.
// uppercase = "HELLO WORLD!"
toLowerCase() returns the string value converted
to lowercase. String lowercase = str.toLowerCase();
// lowercase = "hello world!"
