Java Strings
1. Initializing a variable
Example:
 Storing Text in Strings String sampleString = “This is a Java
String”;
 Special Characters in Strings
 Displaying Strings 2. Assigning of values
 Concatenating Strings Example:
sampleString = “This is a Java String”;
 Other Variables with Strings

Special Character Effect


Why can’t I use some characters in Java strings? \’ displays single quotation mark
\” displays double quotation mark
\\ displays backslash
The Backslash Symbol (\)
\t adds a tab to string
Example: \b inserts backspace
String sample1 = “He quoted \” I think, therefore I
\r initiates a carriage return
am \” to his friend.”;
\f initiates a form feed
will return as \n moves to a new line
He quoted “I think, therefore I am” to his friend.

What is concatenation?

Example:
Statements used to display strings in Java:
String a = “Hello”;
1. System.out.print( ) String b = “World”;
2. System.out.println( ) String message = a + b;

What is printing? String variable message will return as Hello World


when called or printed

Example:
Int length = 120;
char rating = ‘R’;
System.out.println(“Running Time:” + length +
“minutes”);
System.out.println(“Rated” + rating)

Output:
Running Time: 120 minutes
Rated R
