Class java.lang.String


  • All strings of the kind "text" are constants of the type java.lang.String.
  • The java.lang package offers a comfortable way of handling character strings.

    if("Jens".equals(name)) { }
    
    or
    if(name.equals("Jens")) { }
    
  • Converting primitive data types into strings (Not as mighty as sscanf in C):

    String str = String.valueOf(d);
