Strings (lines
of text) [ ie "My name is Jeff"] - API
HERE
- String is an object (a predefined class). This means it has special
features, like being able to tell length and comparison features
- to declare we are going to use the same way we declared integers:
String myFirstName="Jeff";
String myLastName="Borland";
(note- String is capitalized case, thats b/c it is not primitive
data.)
String myWholeName = myFirstName
+ " " + myLastName; to concate strings (bring
together, we use +)
Strings can be manipulated using special methods:
ie:
myFirstName.length() returns the value
4
myFirstName.charAt(2) would return
the letter f (note: J is letter 0 and so on, in programming
you start at 0)
There are lots of other methods for strings in the API here.
