Java String & Character – Compact Interview

Handbook

This compact handbook contains all essential String, Character, and StringBuilder concepts
required for exams and coding interviews.

1. String Basics & Immutability


String s1 = "Java";
String s2 = new String("Java");

[Link](s1 == s2); // false


[Link]([Link](s2)); // true

Key Point: Strings are immutable.


2. Core String Methods
String s = "Programming";

[Link](); // 11
[Link](3); // 'g'
[Link](0,6); // Progra
[Link]("ram"); // 4
[Link]("gram"); // true
[Link]();
[Link]();
[Link]();
[Link]("Pro","Go");
[Link]("g");

Comparison Methods:
String a = "apple";
String b = "banana";

[Link](b);
[Link]("APPLE");
3. Character Class Methods
char ch = 'A';

[Link](ch);
[Link](ch);
[Link](ch);
[Link](ch);
[Link]('a');
[Link]('9');

4. StringBuilder (Mutable Alternative)


StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("Hello");

[Link](" World");
[Link]();
[Link](0,2);
[Link](sb);
5. Common Interview Problems
// Reverse String
String s = "Java";
String rev = new StringBuilder(s).reverse().toString();

// Palindrome Check
String str = "madam";
boolean isPal = [Link](
new StringBuilder(str).reverse().toString());

// Count Digits
int count = 0;
for(char c : [Link]()){
if([Link](c)) count++;
}

Common Mistakes:
• Using == instead of equals() • Forgetting immutability • Not checking null • Misunderstanding
substring end index (exclusive)

Most Important for Interviews:


length(), charAt(), substring(), equals(), indexOf(), split(), replace(), contains(), [Link](),
[Link]()
