Java : String with Examples
String (Java SE 22 & JDK 22) with Examples.
You will find code examples on most String methods.
Summary
final var s = "abcd";
System.out.println(s); // "abcd"
final var upper = s.toUpperCase();
System.out.println(upper); // "ABCD"
// An example with a surrogate code point.
final var surrogate = "\uD83D\uDE0A"; // "😊" is one character.
System.out.println(surrogate); // "😊"
System.out.println(surrogate.length()); // 2
final var chars = surrogate.chars().toArray();
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(chars)); // [55357, 56842]
final var codePoints = surrogate.codePoints().toArray();
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(codePoints)); // [128522]
