Java Strings: Creating Strings String Methods

Here are the solutions to the string problems: 1. int count = sentence.replaceAll("o", "").length() - sentence.length(); System.out.println("Number of o's: " + count); 2. String str1 = "Class"; String str2 = " class "; System.out.println(str1.equalsIgnoreCase(str2)); 3. String replaced = sentence.replace(" ", "%"); System.out.println(replaced); 4. System.out.println("Index position of first a: " + sentence.indexOf('a')); 5. Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.

Java Strings

 Creating Strings

 String Methods
 Java Strings
 Storing Text in String Variables
 Using Special Characters in String
 Display Strings
 Concatenate Strings
 Using Other Variables with Strings
 Strings are sequences of characters beginning
and ending with double-quotes.

 Unlike other programming languages, Java does


not use an array of characters to represent a
string.

 Use a String by typing some text surrounded


by double quotes. This is called a String literal.

“This is a Java String”


 A character is the basic element of a string. It is
a single letter, number, punctuation mark, or
other symbol.
 In Java programs, a character is enclosed by
single quotes.
 Character variables are created with the char
type in a statement.

char message;
 When you create character variables, you can set them up
with an initial value.

char message = ‘A’;

 A string is a collection of characters.

 Using the String literal and the name of the variable, you can
set up a variable to hold a string value.

String fullName = “Juan dela Cruz”;

 You can also assign a String literal to a String variable to


change its content.

fullName = “Jose Rizal”;


 If you want to include double quotation marks as
part of a String, Java has created a special code
sequence for this: \”.

 Every time this code sequence is encountered in


a String literal, it is replaced with the double
quotation marks.

String str = “Juan watched the


movie \ “Spiderman\” in 2007.”;
 The System.out.println() statement is used to
display a string in a Java program.

System.out.println(“Hello World!”);

 When you say display a line of text on the screen, this


often refers to printing.
 Java allows the use of the + sign to concatenate or connect
two strings together.

String a = “Hello”;
String b = “World”;
String message = a + b;

 When you concatenate a string with a value that is not a


string, the latter is converted to a string.

int age = 18;


String rating = “R” + age;
 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
String findWords = “”;
findWords = findWords + “comedy”;
findWords = findWords + “action”;
findWords = findWords + “Philippines”;

 The += operator combines the functions of the = and +


operators. With strings, it is used to add something to the
end of an existing string.

String findWords = “”;


findWords += “comedy”;
findWords += “action”;
findWords += “Philippines”;
String strGreeting = “Hello World”;

String “Hello World”


Charact
‘H’ ‘e’ ‘l’ ‘l’ ‘o’ ‘ ’ ‘W’ ‘o’ ‘r’ ‘l’ ‘d’
er
Index 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

strGreeting.charAt(0); // returns char H


strGreeting.charAt(8); // returns char r
Directly assigning string literal to a String object:
String str1 = “Hello World”;

Using the new keyword and String constructor:


String str1 = new String(“Hello World”);
String str1 = “Computer”;
String str2 = “Computer”;
String str3 = new String(“Computer”);
String str4 = new String(“Computer”);
Memory
str1

“Computer”
str2

str3
“Computer”
“Computer”
str4
Assume: String str = “Java”;
Method Example Return value
charAt(index) str.charAt(2) ‘v’
compareTo(string) str.compareTo(“Java’s”) -2
concat(string) str.concat(“ program”) “Java program”

equals(string) str.equals(“Java”) true


equalsIgnorCase str.equalsIgnoreCase
true
(string) (“java”)
indexOf(string) str.indexOf(“a”) 1
lastIndexOf
str.lastIndexOf(“a”) 3
(string)
Assume: String str = “Java”, strEx = “ Java Java ”;
Method Example Return value
length() str.length() 4
toLowerCase() str.toLowerCase() “java”
toLowerCase() Str.toUpperCase() “JAVA”
replace(oldChar,
str.replace(‘a’, ‘o’) “Jovo”
newChar)
substring(start) str.substring(2) “va”
substring(start,
str.substring(1, 3) “av”
end)
trim() strEx.trim() “Java Java”
String strName = “Jess Diaz”;
String strConverted = strName.toUpperCase();

System.out.println(strConverted); //JESS DIAZ

System.out.println(strName); //Jess Diaz


Problem
1. Assume: String sentence = “The quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog.”;
Write Java statements that will count and display the total
number of character ‘o’ in the string.
2. Assume:
String str1 = “Class”, str2 = “ class ”;
Write Java statements that will display true when both
variables are compared.
3. Assume: String sentence = “The quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog.”;
Write Java statements that will display the string replacing all
the whitespaces to character ‘%’.
Problem
4. Assume: String sentence = “The quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog.”;
Write Java statements that will display a message specifying
what is the index position of character ‘a’ in the string.
5. Write Java statements that will ask the user to enter a string
then print each character of this character using a loop
statement.
