Lecture - 6

Agenda
• Program to swap two integers.
• Strings in Java
• In-class quiz 12:15PM to 12:45PM
 Strings in Java
• String is a sequence of characters.
• In Java, Strings belong to Java.lang.string.
Because it is a common class, we need
not write a corresponding import
statement.
• How to declare a variable as a string?
Ex: String a=“Hi”;
 Operations on Strings
• Comparing : equals() and compareTo()
• Trim
• Uppercase/Lowercase: toLowercase(),
toUppercase()
• Substring
• Replace
• indexOf
• Concat
• length
 Example Programs
EQUALS:
String a = "csc185";
String b = “csc185";
if(a.equals(b))
System.out.println(“Strings are equal!");
else
System.out.println(“Strings not
equal!");
CompareTo(): Return an integer value.
Return ‘0’ if they are equal
String a = "csc185";
String b = "csc185";
int result = a.compareTo(b);
System.out.println("result is:
"+result);
Upper case:

String b = "csc185";
String upperresult = b.toUpperCase();
System.out.println(upperresult);
• Substring: 2 methods
String b = "csc185";
String upperresult = b.substring(2);
System.out.println(upperresult);
• Replace:
String b = "csc185";
String upperresult = b.replace('c', 'p');
System.out.println(upperresult);
