Introduction

String manipulation is a fundamental skill for any software developer. In Java, the String class provides numerous methods to handle and process text effectively. This repository serves as a learning resource for understanding and applying these string manipulation techniques.

Key Concepts

1. String Indexing: Understanding how characters in strings are indexed (0-based)
2. String Comparison: Methods to compare strings with/without case sensitivity
3. Substring Operations: Finding, extracting, and validating substrings
4. String Transformation: Converting strings to different cases, trimming spaces, etc.

The src directory contains practical examples organized by functionality:

• basics: Fundamental string operations
• search: Methods for finding substrings and checking prefixes/suffixes
• comparison: Ways to compare strings
• practical: Real-world applications of string manipulation

Exercises

The exercises directory contains practice problems to test your understanding:

• Exercise 1: Check if a string contains "good" and display appropriate message
• Exercise 2: Compare different names while ignoring case
