Java String class methods

The java.lang.String class provides a lot of methods to work on string. By the help of these methods, we can perform operations on string such as trimming, concatenating, converting, comparing, replacing strings etc.

Java String is a powerful concept because everything is treated as a string if you submit any form in window based, web based or mobile application.

Java String toUpperCase() and toLowerCase() method

The java string toUpperCase() method converts this string into uppercase letter and string toLowerCase() method into lowercase letter.

String s="Rama"; System.out.println(s.toUpperCase());//RAMA System.out.println(s.toLowerCase());//rama System.out.println(s);//Rama(no change in original)


Output:
RAMA rama Rama
Java String trim() method

The string trim() method eliminates white spaces before and after string.

String s=" Rama "; System.out.println(s);// Rama System.out.println(s.trim());//Rama


Output:
Rama Rama
Java String startsWith() and endsWith() method
String s="Rama"; System.out.println(s.startsWith("Ra"));//true System.out.println(s.endsWith("a"));//true


Output:
true true
Java String charAt() method

The string charAt() method returns a character at specified index.

String s="Rama"; System.out.println(s.charAt(0));//R System.out.println(s.charAt(2));//m


Output:
R m
Java String length() method

The string length() method returns length of the string.

public class Testmethodof { public static void main(String args[]){ String s="Rama"; System.out.println(s.length());//4 } }


Output:
4
Java String intern() method

A pool of strings, initially empty, is maintained privately by the class String.

When the intern method is invoked, if the pool already contains a string equal to this String object as determined by the equals(Object) method, then the string from the pool is returned. Otherwise, this String object is added to the pool and a reference to this String object is returned.

public class Testmethodof { public static void main(String args[]) { String s=new String("Rama"); String s2=s.intern(); System.out.println(s2);//Rama } }


Output:
Rama
Java String valueOf() method

The string valueOf() method coverts given type such as int, long, float, double, boolean, char and char array into string.

public class Testmethodof { public static void main(String args[]) { int a=31; String s=String.valueOf(a); System.out.println(s+36); } }


Output:
3136
Java String replace() method

The string replace() method replaces all occurrence of first sequence of character with second sequence of character.

public class Testmethodof { public static void main(String args[]) { String s1="Java is a programming language. Java is a platform. Java is an Island."; String replaceString=s1.replace("Java","java program");//replaces all occurrences of "Java" to "Java program" System.out.println(replaceString); } }


Output:
java program is a programming language. java program is a platform. java program is an Island.
