Strings

// This program demonstrates string functions.

class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = "Hello";

        System.out.println("string: " + str);
        System.out.println("string.toLowerCase(): " + str.toLowerCase());
        System.out.println("string.toUpperCase(): " + str.toUpperCase());
        System.out.println("string.indexOf('e'): " + str.indexOf('e'));
        System.out.println("string.length(): " + str.length());
        System.out.println("string.replace('H', 'j'): " + str.replace('H', 'j'));
        System.out.println("string(substring(2,4): " + str.substring(2, 4));
        System.out.println("string.trim(): " + str.trim());

        String name = "Bob";
        double value = 123.456;
        System.out.println(String.format("%s earned $%.2f", name, value));
    }
}

Output

string: Hello
string..toLowerCase(): hello
string.toUpperCase(): HELLO
string.indexOf('e'): 1
string.length(): 5
string.replace('H', 'j'): jello
string(substring(2,4): ll
string.trim(): Hello
Bob earned $123.46

Files

// This program creates a file, adds data to the file, displays the file,
// appends more data to the file, displays the file, and then deletes the file.
// It will not run if the file already exists.
