Java String Notes

Java Strings are immutable objects stored in a String Constant Pool and are a final class that implements Serializable and Comparable interfaces. They support Unicode and provide various inbuilt methods for operations like length, comparison, searching, modification, case conversion, and more. Examples demonstrate the use of methods such as trim, length, toUpperCase, contains, and replaceFirst.

Java String - Properties:

1. Immutable: Once a String object is created, it cannot be changed.

2. Stored in String Pool: String literals are stored in a special memory area called the String

Constant Pool.

3. Final Class: The String class is final, so it cannot be inherited.

4. Implements Serializable and Comparable: Strings can be serialized and compared

lexicographically.

5. Supports Unicode: Java Strings support Unicode, allowing a wide range of characters.

6. Backed by a char array (or byte array in newer versions).

Commonly Used Inbuilt String Methods:

1. Length and Character Access

- int length()

- char charAt(int index)

- int codePointAt(int index)

2. Comparison

- boolean equals(Object another)

- boolean equalsIgnoreCase(String another)

- int compareTo(String another)

- boolean startsWith(String prefix)

- boolean endsWith(String suffix)

3. Searching

- int indexOf(String str)


- int lastIndexOf(String str)

- boolean contains(CharSequence s)

4. Substring and Modification

- String substring(int beginIndex)

- String substring(int beginIndex, int endIndex)

- String replace(char oldChar, char newChar)

- String replaceAll(String regex, String replacement)

- String replaceFirst(String regex, String replacement)

5. Case Conversion

- String toLowerCase()

- String toUpperCase()

6. Trimming and Stripping

- String trim()

- String strip()

- String stripLeading()

- String stripTrailing()

7. Joining and Concatenation

- String concat(String str)

- String join(CharSequence delimiter, CharSequence... elements)

8. Splitting and Formatting

- String[] split(String regex)

- static String format(String format, Object... args)


9. Conversion

- char[] toCharArray()

- byte[] getBytes()

- static String valueOf(Object obj)

- static String valueOf(int i)

10. Matching and Regular Expressions

- boolean matches(String regex)

- String[] split(String regex)

- String replaceAll(String regex, String replacement)

11. Interning

- String intern()

12. Empty and Blank Check

- boolean isEmpty()

- boolean isBlank()

Example:

String s = " Hello World ";

System.out.println(s.trim()); // "Hello World"

System.out.println(s.length()); // 13

System.out.println(s.toUpperCase()); // " HELLO WORLD "

System.out.println(s.contains("World")); // true

System.out.println(s.charAt(1)); // 'H'

System.out.println(s.substring(1, 6)); // "Hell"


Explanation of s = s.replaceFirst(part, ""):

- s: Original string.

- part: The substring or regex to remove.

- "": Replacing it with an empty string (deleting it).

- replaceFirst(): Replaces only the first occurrence.

Example:

String s = "apple banana apple orange";

String part = "apple";

s = s.replaceFirst(part, "");

System.out.println(s); // Output: " banana apple orange"

Note: replaceFirst() uses regex, so special characters need to be escaped.
