How do we mix two strings and generate another in java?
Strings are used to store a sequence of characters in Java, they are treated as objects. The String class of the java.lang package represents a String.
You can create a String either by using the new keyword (like any other object) or, by assigning value to the literal (like any other primitive datatype).
String stringObject = new String("Hello how are you");
String stringLiteral = "Welcome to Tutorialspoint";Concatenating Strings
You can concatenate Strings in Java in the following ways −
Using the "+" operator − Java Provides a concatenation operator using this, you can directly add two String literals
Example
import java.util.Scanner;
public class StringExample {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the first string: ");
String str1 = sc.next();
System.out.println("Enter the second string: ");
String str2 = sc.next();
//Concatenating the two Strings
String result = str1+str2;
System.out.println(result);
}
}Output
Enter the first string: Krishna Enter the second string: Kasyap KrishnaKasyap Java
Using the concat() method − The concat() method of the String class accepts a String value, adds it to the current String and returns the concatenated value.
Example
import java.util.Scanner;
public class StringExample {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the first string: ");
String str1 = sc.next();
System.out.println("Enter the second string: ");
String str2 = sc.next();
//Concatenating the two Strings
String result = str1.concat(str2);
System.out.println(result);
}
}Output
Enter the first string: Krishna Enter the second string: Kasyap KrishnaKasyap
Using StringBuffer and StringBuilder classes − StringBuffer and StringBuilder classes are those that can be used as alternative to String when modification needed.
These are similar to String except they are mutable. These provide various methods for contents manipulation. The append() method of these classes accepts a String value and adds it to the current StringBuilder object.
Example
import java.util.Scanner;
public class StringExample {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the first string: ");
String str1 = sc.next();
System.out.println("Enter the second string: ");
String str2 = sc.next();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(str1);
//Concatenating the two Strings
sb.append(str2);
System.out.println(sb);
}
}Output
Enter the first string: Krishna Enter the second string: Kasyap KrishnaKasyap
