Java String Class Methods and Operations:
1. String Class Methods:
-------------------------
- length()
- charAt(int index)
- substring(int beginIndex)
- substring(int beginIndex, int endIndex)
- contains(CharSequence s)
- equals(Object another)
- equalsIgnoreCase(String another)
- isEmpty()
- concat(String str)
- replace(char old, char new)
- replaceAll(String regex, String replacement)
- replaceFirst(String regex, String replacement)
- split(String regex)
- indexOf(String str)
- lastIndexOf(String str)
- toLowerCase()
- toUpperCase()
- trim()
- startsWith(String prefix)
- endsWith(String suffix)
- valueOf(primitive types or objects)
- matches(String regex)
- compareTo(String anotherString)
- compareToIgnoreCase(String str)
2. String Operations:
----------------------
- String concatenation using + and concat()
- String comparison: equals(), ==, compareTo()
- Substring extraction: substring()
- Searching in a string: indexOf(), lastIndexOf()
- Pattern matching: matches(), contains()
- Changing case: toUpperCase(), toLowerCase()
- Replacing characters: replace(), replaceAll()
- Trimming whitespaces: trim()
- Splitting strings: split()
3. StringBuffer Class Methods:
-------------------------------
- append(String str)
- insert(int offset, String str)
- replace(int start, int end, String str)
- delete(int start, int end)
- reverse()
- capacity()
- ensureCapacity(int minimumCapacity)
- setLength(int newLength)
- charAt(int index)
- setCharAt(int index, char ch)
- toString()
4. StringBuilder Class Methods (Same as StringBuffer):
-------------------------------------------------------
- append(String str)
- insert(int offset, String str)
- replace(int start, int end, String str)
- delete(int start, int end)
- reverse()
- capacity()
- ensureCapacity(int minimumCapacity)
- setLength(int newLength)
- charAt(int index)
- setCharAt(int index, char ch)
- toString()
Note: StringBuffer is synchronized (thread-safe), StringBuilder is not.
