Java Practical Strings

This document compares the String and StringBuffer classes in Java, highlighting their methods and key differences. The String class is immutable, while StringBuffer is mutable, allowing for modifications. Additionally, StringBuffer is more memory efficient and faster for frequent modifications compared to String.

Practical Assignment: Java String

Classes

This document explores the implementation and differences between the


String and StringBuffer classes in Java.

1. Methods of the String Class

The String class is used to create immutable character strings. Once a String
object is created, its value cannot be changed.

public class StringMethods {


public static void main(String[] args) {
String str = "Computer Engineering";

// length() - returns the number of characters


[Link]("Length: " + [Link]());

// charAt() - returns the character at a specific index


[Link]("Character at index 5: " + [Link](5));

// substring() - extracts a part of the string


[Link]("Substring (index 0-8): " +
[Link](0, 8));

// toUpperCase() - converts to capital letters


[Link]("Uppercase: " + [Link]());

// contains() - checks if a sequence exists in the string


[Link]("Contains 'Eng': " + [Link]("Eng"));
}
}

2. Methods of the StringBuffer Class

The StringBuffer class is used to create mutable strings, allowing for


modifications without creating new objects.

public class StringBufferMethods {


public static void main(String[] args) {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("Java");

// append() - adds text to the end


[Link](" Practical");
[Link]("After append: " + sb);

// insert() - inserts text at a specific position


[Link](4, " Programming");
[Link]("After insert: " + sb);

// replace() - replaces a part of the string


[Link](0, 4, "Python");
[Link]("After replace: " + sb);

// reverse() - reverses the string sequence


[Link]();
[Link]("After reverse: " + sb);

// delete() - deletes characters between indices


[Link](0, 5);
[Link]("After delete: " + sb);
}
}
