specified text in a string (including whitespace):

String Length

 A String is an object, which contain methods that can perform certain operations on
strings.
 The length of a string can be found with the length() method:

Example:

Result: 6
String Concatenation

 The + operator can be used between strings to combine them.

Example:

Result:

7
String Concatenation

 The concat() method to concatenate two strings:

Example:

Result:

8
String Special Characters

 Because strings must be written within quotes, Java will misunderstand this string,
and generate an error:
 The solution to avoid this problem, is to use the backslash escape character.
 The backslash (\) escape character turns special characters into string characters:

String Special Characters

 The sequence \” inserts a double quote in a string:

Example:

Result:

10
String Special Characters

 The sequence \’ inserts a single quote in a string:

Example:

Result:

String Special Characters

 The sequence \\ inserts a single backslash in a string:

Example:
