Understanding and manipulating strings is a fundamental skill in Java programming, especially for AP® Computer Science A students. The Java String Methods (String Manipulation) resource offers a comprehensive guide to mastering essential string operations.
📘 What’s Inside?
This resource provides detailed explanations and examples of key Java String methods:
.length(): Returns the length of the string..substring(int start, int end): Extracts a substring from the string..indexOf(String str): Finds the index of the first occurrence of the specified substring..charAt(int index): Returns the character at the specified index..equals(String str): Compares the string to the specified string..equalsIgnoreCase(String str): Compares the string to the specified string, ignoring case considerations..toLowerCase(): Converts all characters of the string to lowercase..toUpperCase(): Converts all characters of the string to uppercase.
Each method is accompanied by clear examples and explanations to facilitate understanding.
