[Link] constructors and methods


------------------------------------------------
it is exactly same as [Link], except the following differences

StringBuffer vs StringBuilder
------------------------------
StringBuffer
-----------
DURGASOFT, # 202, 2nd Floor, HUDA Maitrivanam, Ameerpet, Hyderabad - 500038,
266  88 85 25 26 27, 72 07 21 24 27/28 | [Link]
Maii: durgasoftonline@[Link]
DURGASOFT
=> 1.0 version
=> synchronized
=> only one thread is allowed
=> sequential execution
=> increase application time
=> performance improved
=> thread safe
=> deprecated/outdated

StringBuilder
-------------
=> 1.5 version
=> non-synchronized
=> multiple threads are allowed
=> parallel execution
=> decreases application time
=> performance not that good
=> not thread safe
=> not deprecated/outdated

[Link] constructors and methods


--------------------------------------------------
it is an utility class existed in [Link] package and StringTokenizer is used to divide
the given string into tokens.

"java is very easy" ------> java, is, very, easy


"19-12-2002" -------------> 19, 12, 2002
"09:30:45" ---------------> 09, 30, 45

StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(String)


StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(String,delimiter)

int countTokens() -------> returns number of tokens


boolean hasMoreTokens() -> returns true if there is a token
String nextToken() ------> returns current token and transfer the control to next

Ex:
---
import [Link].*;
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
DURGASOFT, # 202, 2nd Floor, HUDA Maitrivanam, Ameerpet, Hyderabad - 500038,
267  88 85 25 26 27, 72 07 21 24 27/28 | [Link]
Maii: durgasoftonline@[Link]
DURGASOFT
String s = "java is very easy";
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s);
[Link]([Link]());//4
while([Link]()){
[Link]([Link]());
}
}
}
output:
-------
java
is
very
easy

Ex2:
----
import [Link].*;
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String s = "13-1-2023";
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s,"-");
[Link]([Link]());//3
while([Link]()){
[Link]([Link]());
}
}
}

output:
-------
3
13
1
2023

Ex3:
----
import [Link].*;
class Test
{
DURGASOFT, # 202, 2nd Floor, HUDA Maitrivanam, Ameerpet, Hyderabad - 500038,
268  88 85 25 26 27, 72 07 21 24 27/28 | [Link]
Maii: durgasoftonline@[Link]
DURGASOFT
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String s = "09:30:34";
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s,":");
[Link]([Link]());//3
while([Link]()){
[Link]([Link]());
}
}
}

output:
-------
3
09
30
34

Regular Expression and Applications


------------------------------------
a group of strings according to a particular format or pattern or template is called as
regular expression.

steps to prepare re object


--------------------------
1) import [Link].*;

[Link] -> it imports all the classes and interfaces from util pkg not sub-pkgs
[Link] --> it imports all the classes and interfaces from regex sub-pkg

2) pattern object (format)


3) matcher object (target)

mobile number validation:


-------------------------
123 invalid
1234567890 invalid
7386237319 valid
1386237319 invalid

format or re: [6-9][0-9]{9}

Ex:
DURGASOFT, # 202, 2nd Floor, HUDA Maitrivanam, Ameerpet, Hyderabad - 500038,
269  88 85 25 26 27, 72 07 21 24 27/28 | [Link]

---
import [Link].*;
import [Link].*;
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Pattern p = [Link]("[0-9]");//re
Matcher m = [Link]("a1b2c9d57u");//target string
int c=0;
while([Link]()){
[Link]([Link]()+" ====> "+[Link]()+" ====>
"+[Link]());
c++;
}
[Link]("count="+c);
}
}

1 ====> 2 ====> 1
3 ====> 4 ====> 2
5 ====> 6 ====> 9
7 ====> 8 ====> 5
8 ====> 9 ====> 7
count=5

Ex:
---
import [Link].*;
import [Link].*;
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Pattern p = [Link]("[a-z]");//re
Matcher m = [Link]("a1b2c9d57u");//target string
int c=0;
while([Link]()){
[Link]([Link]()+" ====> "+[Link]()+" ====>
"+[Link]());
c++;
}
