String Methods

length() String Method in Java


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

System.out.println(s2.equalsIgnoreCase("world"));
// prints true

indexOf() String Method in Java


In Java, the indexOf() string method returns the first occurence of a character or a String str = "Hello World!";
substring in a String . The character/substring that you want to find the index of goes
inside of the () .
If indexOf() cannot find the character or substring, it will return -1. System.out.println(str.indexOf("l"));
// 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 String str = "This is a string";
index. The index 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 str = "Hello World!";
string methods:
toUpperCase() returns the string value converted to uppercase.
toLowerCase() returns the string value converted to lowercase. String uppercase = str.toUpperCase();
// uppercase = "HELLO WORLD!"

String lowercase = str.toLowerCase();


// lowercase = "hello world!"
