Procedure
The String class in Java provides numerous methods for working with strings. Here are a few examples
demonstrating the use of some common methods of the String class:
TASK 1: Concatenate Strings
//Concatenate Strings
public class StringExample1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str1 = “Hello”;
String str2 = “World”;
System.out.println(“ String 1: “ + str1);
System.out.println(“ String 2: “ + str2);
// Concatenation using the concat() method
String result = str1.concat(“ “ + str2);
System.out.println(“Concatenated String: “ + result);
}
}
Explanation:
• In Java, string concatenation is the process of combining two or more strings into a single string.
• The concat() method is one way to concatenate strings in Java. It appends one string to the end of
another string.
• In the example, str1.concat(“ “ + str2) concatenates str1, a space, and str2.
• The result is a new string “Hello World”, which is stored in the variable result.
• String concatenation using the concat() method creates a new string object containing the concatenated
result. The original strings remain unchanged.
• The + operator can also be used for string concatenation in Java, as demonstrated in the println()
statements. It works similarly to the concat() method.
