Comparison
String s1 = new String("QuickRef");
String s2 = new String("QuickRef");
s1 == s2 // false
s1.equals(s2) // true
"AB".equalsIgnoreCase("ab") // true
Manipulation
String str = "Abcd";
str.toUpperCase(); // ABCD
str.toLowerCase(); // abcd
str.concat("#"); // Abcd#
str.replace("b", "-"); // A-cd
" abc ".trim(); // abc
"ab".toCharArray(); // {'a', 'b'}
Information
String str = "abcd";
str.charAt(2); // c
str.indexOf("a") // 0
str.indexOf("z") // -1
str.length(); // 4
str.toString(); // abcd
str.substring(2); // cd
str.substring(2,3); // c
str.contains("c"); // true

Immutable
String str = "hello";

// Outputs: hello

Java Arrays
Declare

Modify
int[] a = {1, 2, 3};
System.out.println(a[0]); // 1
a[0] = 9;
System.out.println(a[0]); // 9
System.out.println(a.length); // 3
Loop (Read & Modify)

Loop (Read)
String[] arr = {"a", "b", "c"};

Multidimensional Arrays
int[][] matrix = { {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5} };
int x = matrix[1][0]; // 4

Sort
