9.2.8 FINDING A CHARACTER OR A
SUBSTRING
2 IN A STRING

java.lang.String
+indexOf(ch: char): int Returns the index of the first occurrence of ch in the string.
Returns -1 if not matched.
+indexOf(ch: char, fromIndex: Returns the index of the first occurrence of ch after fromIndex in
int): int the string. Returns -1 if not matched.
+indexOf(s: String): int Returns the index of the first occurrence of string s in this string.
Returns -1 if not matched.
+indexOf(s: String, fromIndex: Returns the index of the first occurrence of string s in this string
int): int after fromIndex. Returns -1 if not matched.
+lastIndexOf(ch: int): int Returns the index of the last occurrence of ch in the string.
Returns -1 if not matched.
+lastIndexOf(ch: int, Returns the index of the last occurrence of ch before fromIndex
fromIndex: int): int in this string. Returns -1 if not matched.
+lastIndexOf(s: String): int Returns the index of the last occurrence of string s. Returns -1 if
not matched.
+lastIndexOf(s: String, Returns the index of the last occurrence of string s before
fromIndex: int): int fromIndex. Returns -1 if not matched.
FINDING A CHARACTER OR A
SUBSTRING

IN A STRING

"Welcome to Java".indexOf('W') returns 0.


"Welcome to Java".indexOf('x') returns -1.
"Welcome to Java".indexOf('o', 5) returns 9.
"Welcome to Java".indexOf("come") returns 3.
"Welcome to Java".indexOf("Java", 5) returns 11.
"Welcome to Java".indexOf("java", 5) returns -1.
"Welcome to Java".lastIndexOf('a') returns 14.

9.2.10 CONVERTING CHARACTERS AND

VALUES TO STRINGS

The String class provides several static valueOf methods for converting a
character, an array of characters, and numeric values to strings. These methods
have the same name valueOf with different argument types char, char[], double,
long, int, and float.
For example, to convert a double value to a string, use String.valueOf(5.44). The
return value is string consists of characters ‘5’, ‘.’, ‘4’, and ‘4’.
CONVERTING STRINGS TO INTEGER AND
DOUBLE

USING INTEGER.PARSEINT( ) AND
DOUBLE.PARSEDOUBLE( )

To convert a String into an integer we use the method Integer.parseInt()


and into a double we use the method Double.parseDouble().

String s1 = "12", s2 = "12.5";


int n = Integer.parseInt(s1);
double m = Double.parseDouble(s2);

As a result n will contain the integer value 12 and m will contain the
double value 12.5.
Note that if s1 or s2 contain non digit characters then an error will
occur. Of course s2 can contain the dot.

PAGE 363: OCCURRENCES OF A
SPECIFIED CHARACTER IN A STRING

Write a method that finds the number of occurrences of a specified character in a


string using the following header:
public static int count(String str, char a)
For example, count("Welcome", 'e') returns 2.

Write a test program (main method) that prompts the user to enter a string
followed by a character and displays the number of occurrences of the character in
the string.
SOLUTION OF PROGRAMMING EXERCISE 9.4
import java.util.Scanner;
8
public class Exercise09_04 {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Enter a string: ");

String s = input.next();

System.out.print("Enter a character: ");

char ch = input.next().charAt(0);

int counter = count(s, ch);

System.out.println(counter);

public static int count(String str, char ch) {

int counter = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)

if (str.charAt(i) == ch)

counter++;

return counter;

PAGE 363: COUNTING THE
LETTERS IN A STRING

Write a method that counts the number of letters in a


string using the following header:
public static int countLetters(String s)
Write a test program that prompts the user to enter a string and
displays the number of letters in the string.
SOLUTION OF PROGRAMMING EXERCISE 9.6
import java.util.Scanner;
10
public class Exercise09_06 {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Prompt the user to enter a string

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Enter a string: ");

String s = input.nextLine();

System.out.println("Number of letters is " + countLetters(s));

public static int countLetters(String s) {

int count = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++)

if ((s.charAt(i) >= 'A' && s.charAt(i) <= 'Z') ||

(s.charAt(i) >= 'a' && s.charAt(i) <= 'z'))

count++;

return count;
