41 * The <code>String</code> class represents character strings. All
42 * string literals in Java programs, such as <code>"abc"</code>, are
43 * implemented as instances of this class.
45 * Strings are constant; their values cannot be changed after they
46 * are created. String buffers support mutable strings.
47 * Because String objects are immutable they can be shared. For example:
48 * <p><blockquote><pre>
50 * </pre></blockquote><p>
52 * <p><blockquote><pre>
53 * char data[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};
54 * String str = new String(data);
55 * </pre></blockquote><p>
56 * Here are some more examples of how strings can be used:
57 * <p><blockquote><pre>
58 * System.out.println("abc");
60 * System.out.println("abc" + cde);
61 * String c = "abc".substring(2,3);
62 * String d = cde.substring(1, 2);
65 * The class <code>String</code> includes methods for examining
66 * individual characters of the sequence, for comparing strings, for
67 * searching strings, for extracting substrings, and for creating a
68 * copy of a string with all characters translated to uppercase or to
69 * lowercase. Case mapping is based on the Unicode Standard version
70 * specified by the {@link java.lang.Character Character} class.
72 * The Java language provides special support for the string
73 * concatenation operator ( + ), and for conversion of
74 * other objects to strings. String concatenation is implemented
75 * through the <code>StringBuilder</code>(or <code>StringBuffer</code>)
76 * class and its <code>append</code> method.
77 * String conversions are implemented through the method
78 * <code>toString</code>, defined by <code>Object</code> and
79 * inherited by all classes in Java. For additional information on
80 * string concatenation and conversion, see Gosling, Joy, and Steele,
81 * <i>The Java Language Specification</i>.
83 * <p> Unless otherwise noted, passing a <tt>null</tt> argument to a constructor
84 * or method in this class will cause a {@link NullPointerException} to be
87 * <p>A <code>String</code> represents a string in the UTF-16 format

89 * pairs</em> (see the section <a href="Character.html#unicode">Unicode
90 * Character Representations</a> in the <code>Character</code> class for
92 * Index values refer to <code>char</code> code units, so a supplementary
93 * character uses two positions in a <code>String</code>.
94 * <p>The <code>String</code> class provides methods for dealing with

2248 * is non-positive then the pattern will be applied as many times as
