Substring
Course- Java >
A part of string is called substring. In other words, substring is a subset of another string. In case of substring startIndex is inclusive and endIndex is exclusive.
Note: Index starts from 0.
You can get substring from the given string object by one of the two methods:
- public String substring(int startIndex): This method returns new String object containing the substring of the given string from specified startIndex (inclusive).
- public String substring(int startIndex, int endIndex): This method returns new String object containing the substring of the given string from specified startIndex to endIndex.
In case of string:
- startIndex: inclusive
- endIndex: exclusive
Let's understand the startIndex and endIndex by the code given below.
- String s="hello";
- System.out.println(s.substring(0,2));//he
In the above substring, 0 points to h but 2 points to e (because end index is exclusive).
Example of java substring
- public class TestSubstring{
- public static void main(String args[]){
- String s="Sachin Tendulkar";
- System.out.println(s.substring(6));//Tendulkar
- System.out.println(s.substring(0,6));//Sachin
- }
- }
Tendulkar Sachin
