Strings
And other things
![Page 2: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Strings Overview
The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes Printf() method The StringBuffer class

What is a string
A sequence of characters Representing alphanumeric data. Defined in the java.lang.String class String is a class and objects of String type
are reference variables.
![Page 4: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Making a string
Declared as a typical object would be. String s= new String(“Hello”)
Or using a short hand that java provides String s = “Hello”
![Page 5: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The string class provides many methods. charAt(int idx) compareTo(string s) concat(string s) equals(string s) indexOf(int ch,int fromhere) lastIndexOf(int ch,int fromhere) length() replace(char old, char new) substring(int beginidx, int endidx) trim() toUpper(String s)

Joining strings
Concatenation is the operation of joining one string on the end of another.
S3 = S.concat(S2) Or S3 = S + S2 Java will implicitly type cast a numeric
value as a string
![Page 7: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
String literals
“Hello” “Good bye” “10,100” “576DSW” “700-6000” “Bill”
![Page 8: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
String equality
String s1=“Hello” String s2=“Hello”
If (s1==s2) System.out.print(“Equal”) Not equal
If (s1.equals(s2)) System.out.print(“Equal”) Equal
String s3=s1 If (s3==s1) System.out.print(“Equal”)
Equal
![Page 9: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
String comparisons
If S1 < S2 may not work correctly If (S1.compareTo(s2)) < 0
System.out.print(“Less then”) If (S1.compareTo(s2)) == 0
System.out.print(“Equals”) If (S1.compareTo(s2)) > 0
System.out.print(“Greater then”)
![Page 10: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Finding strings in strings
indexOf(int ch,int fromhere) lastIndexOf(int ch,int fromhere) indexOf(String S, int fromhere) S1=“Hello” S1.indexof(‘l’)
Will return 2 S1.lastindexof(‘l’)
Will return 3

String Conversions
String.valueof(number)Returns a string
And Integer.parseint(String)Return a number

Converting Strings
ToLowerCase() ToUppercase()
![Page 13: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The stringbuffer class
Like the string class Why 2 string classes? Other methods: .delete(int loc, int toloc) .reverse() .capacity() the size of the stringbuffer
![Page 14: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Char data type
A char is a single unicode value Unicode is a code used to specify character
data.
char c; char[] carray = { ‘H’, ‘e’, ‘l’, ‘l’, ‘o’ }; A character array can be used to build a string String s= new String(carray)
![Page 15: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Command line arguments
Command line arguments are passed to the args array in the main method.
We can find the length of this array and process these arguments in our program.
![Page 16: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
That Character class
A wrapper class These are likes like Double and Integer which can be
used in place of the primitive data types. There is one for each primitive data type
Provides methods like: compareTo( char) equals(char) Character.isDigit(char) // a static method Also: isLetter(char) and isLowerCase()…
![Page 17: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
StringBuilder
An object that can be created to manipulate strings values mutably then store the result back into a string.
Methods: append( String) insert(index, String) deleteCharAT( index) replace( startindex, endindex, string) toString()
![Page 18: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
StringTokenizer
Used to break strings apart. This process is also known as parsing a string.
A token is a special character used to delimit the parts of a string. nextToken() countTokens()
The default token is set to “ \t\n\r\f” the white space characters.
We can change this using the optional constructor.. StringTokenizer( string, tokenString)
![Page 19: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Formatting data
The printf() method of PrintStream class Format specifiers:
%.2f - a double value, 2 decimals %d - an integer %x - hexvalue
System.out.printf(“data = %.2f”, data); Formatting dates:
%tA, %tB, %td, %tY For day, month, dayof month, year
![Page 20: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Argument index value
System.out.printf(“%1$d, %2$.2f” , int, double) The 1$ and 2$ are used to specify the index of
the parameter to use. By default the value of 1 is used. Field width: %3d - specifies the integer with room for 3 digits
![Page 21: Strings And other things. Strings Overview The String Class and its methods The char data type and Character class StringBuilder, StringTokenizer classes.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d30e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Justification
%-15s - left justify a string of 15 characters %15s- default right justify the string
The format method Formatter f = new Formatter() F.format( “formatstring”, args…)
Or outstring =String.format( formatstring, args…)
