Convert Character and Numbers to Strings The String class provides several static valueOf methods for converting a character, an array of characters, and numeric values to strings. These methods have the same name valueOf with different argument types char, char[], double, long, int, and float. For example, to convert a double value to a string, use String.valueOf(5.44). The return value is string consists of characters ‘5’, ‘.’, ‘4’, and ‘4’. * Problem: Finding Palindromes Objective: Checking whether a string is a palindrome: a string that reads the same forward and backward. * CheckPalindrome Run The Character Class * Examples Character charObject = new Character(b); charOpareTo(new Character(a)) returns 1 charOpareTo(new Character(b)) returns 0 charOpareTo(new Character(c)) returns -1 charOpareTo(new Character(d) returns –2 charObject.equals(new Character(b)) returns true charObject.equals(new Character(d)) returns false * Problem: Counting Each Letter in a String This example gives a program that counts the number of occurrence of each letter in a string. Assume the letters are not case-sensitive. * CountEachLetter Run StringBuilder and StringBuffer The StringBuilder/StringBuffer class is an alternative to the String class. In general, a StringBuilder/StringBuffer can be used wherever a string is used. StringBuilder/StringBuffer is more flexible than String. You can add, insert, or append new contents into a string buffer, whereas the value of a String object is fixed once the string is created. * StringBuilder Constructors * Modifying Strings in the Builder * Examples stringBuilder.append(Java); stringBuilder.insert(11, HTML and ); stringBuilder.delete(8, 11) changes the builder to Welcome Java. stringBuilder.deleteCharAt(8) changes the builder to Welcome o Java. stringBuilder.reverse() changes the builder to avaJ ot emocleW. stringBuilder.replace(11, 15, HTML) changes the builder to Welcome to HTML. stringBuilder.setCharAt(0, w) sets the builder to wel
