Practice and Revision - String Handling
Let us practise and revise what we learned about string handling. Java's String class provides many built-in methods for manipulating text,
Core concept
Common String methods include length() (finds string length), charAt() (gets a character at a position), and substring() (extracts part of a string).
How it works
String comparison uses equals() (checks if strings are identical) rather than == (which compares object references, not content).
Why it matters
Methods like toUpperCase() and toLowerCase() convert string case, while trim() removes extra spaces from the beginning and end.
Key detail
Understanding String handling methods is essential for processing and manipulating text data in Java programs.
