Theory
Java offers 3 classes to work with character data.
1. Character class whose instances or objects can hold single character data. This class offers many
methods to manipulate or inspect single-character data.
2. String class whose instances or objects can hold unchanging string (immutable string) i.e., once
initialized its contents cannot be modified.
3. StringBuffer class whose instances or objects can hold (mutable) strings that can be changed or
modified.
Creating Strings
1. String name = I am a student;
2. String myName = new String(I do not know my name);
Accessor Methods: Methods used to obtain information about an object are known as assessor
methods.
