Program Plan Intro

Tokenizing Strings:

  • The tokenizing of a string denotes a process of dividing a string into its components termed as tokens.
  • The “split” method of “String” class could be used to tokenize strings.
  • The character that would separate tokens is termed as “delimiter”.
  • The argument passed to “split” method denotes a regular expression.
  • A regular expression is used to search for patterns in strings, files and other texts.
  • To prevent leading or trailing whitespace characters in tokens, the string is been trimmed.
  • The “trim” method of “String” class is been used for trimming purposes.

Wrapper class:

  • The wrapper class is been provided by Java API for numeric data types.
  • These classes contain methods that perform useful operations.
  • It involves primitive numeric values.
  • The static “toString” method converts to a string from a number.
    • The method that accepts number as its argument.
    • It returns a number’s string representation.
    • The “toBinaryString”, “toHexString”, and “toOctalString” accepts integer as argument.
      • It returns string representation of number converted into binary, hexadecimal and octal.
    • The “MAX_VALUE” and “MIN_VALUE” stores maximum and minimum value for a specific data type.
  • The “Autoboxing” denotes a java process for automatically boxing up a value inside an object.
  • The “Unboxing” denotes a reverse process of boxing; it converts a wrapper class object into a primitive type.

Students have asked these similar questions
Each of the numeric wrapper classes has a static toString method. What do these methods do?
JAVA - Please produce both a product.java file and a productprinter.java file (tester) Implement a class Product. A product has a name and a price, for example new Product("Toaster", 29.95). Supply methods getName, getPrice, and reducePrice. Supply a program ProductPrinter that makes two products, prints each name and price, reduces their prices by $5.00, and then prints the prices again.
Q1. Write method for string library? How can import the system the sting library?
