String Method Description

1. int length() Returns the number of characters in the String.

2. Char charAt(int i) Returns the character at ith index.
3. String substring (int i) Return the substring from the ith index character to end.
4. String substring (int i, int j)Returns the substring from i to j-1 index.
5. String concat( String str) Concatenates specified string to the end of this string.
Returns the index within the string of the first occurrence
of the specified string.
6. int indexOf (String s)
If String s is not present in input string then -1 is returned
as the default value.
Returns the index within the string of the first occurrence
7. int indexOf (String s, int i)
of the specified string, starting at the specified index.
Returns the index within the string of the last occurrence
of the specified string.
8. Int lastIndexOf( String s)
If String s is not present in input string then -1 is returned
as the default value.
9. boolean equals( Object otherObj) Compares this string to the specified object.
10. boolean equalsIgnoreCase Compares string to another string, ignoring case
(String anotherString) considerations.
11. int compareTo( String
Compares two string lexicographically.
anotherString)
Compares two string lexicographically, ignoring case
12. int considerations.
compareToIgnoreCase( String
anotherString) Note: In this case, it will not consider case of a letter (it
will ignore whether it is uppercase or lowercase).
13. String toLowerCase() Converts all the characters in the String to lower case.
14. String toUpperCase() Converts all the characters in the String to upper case.
Returns the copy of the String, by removing whitespaces
15. String trim()
at both ends. It does not affect whitespaces in the middle.
Returns new string by replacing all occurrences of
16. String replace (char oldChar, oldChar with newChar.
char newChar)
Note: s1 is still feeksforfeeks and s2 is geeksgorgeeks
17. boolean contains(CharSequence
Returns true if string contains contains the given string.
sequence)
18. Char[] toCharArray(): Converts this String to a new character array.
19. boolean startsWith(String
Return true if string starts with this prefix.

// Returns the number of characters in the String.
