How to remove a character from a String via Java

In this blog post, I will be explaining how you can remove a character from a String via Java. Consider the following code snippet:

package learnjava.strings;public class RemoveCharacterDemo {public static void main(String[] args) {String str = "Hello World";String modifiedStr = str.replace("l", "");System.out.println(modifiedStr);}}

 

There is a method String.replace. This replaces the specified character with another character. Here, we are replacing the character ‘l’ with an empty character. So effectively, it is like removing the character “l”. When you run this code, you will get the following output:

Heo Word

Java 11 String enhancements with examples

Java 11 has made some significant improvements to the String class. In this article, we will be exploring the Java 11 String enhancements strip Java 11 has added a new strip method to the String class. This method removes all the leading and trailing whitespaces in a String. Consider the following code: String input = " Hello World ";System.out.println(input);String output = input.strip();System.out.println(output); This code produces the following output: Hello WorldHello World In addition to strip , the String class also has a trim method which also removes all leading and trailing whitespaces. This method exists right from the early versions of Java and so has some limitations. Earlier, the ASCII character set was used. So, trim can only remove whitespaces represented by ASCII characters. However, later on Java adopted the Unicode character set.  Unicode has some additional characters that represent whitespace. The trim method cannot remove these whitespaces....

Important JAX-RS annotations explained

In this article, I will be explaining some important annotations in JAX-RS What is JAX-RS JAX-RS is a Java API that you can use for building a REST service. JAX-RS stands for Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS). It is part of the Java EE since Java 6. The latest version of JAX-RS is JAX-RS 2.0 and is part of Java EE 7. JAX-RS is just an API; it has some annotations that you can use to build a REST application.  JAX-RS does not include an implementation. Jersey framework is the reference implementation of JAX-RS specification and implements JAX-RS 2.0. There are other implementations of JAX-RS like RESTEasy, etc. Important JAX-RS annotations @Get/@Post/@Put/@Delete/@Head You need to specify these annotations on a JAX-RS method. These annotations indicate the HTTP method that the JAX-RS method maps to. So when a client request comes in, JAX-RS matches the HTTP method in the client request to the method that has the appropriate annotation. If there is no annotation on a method, JAX...

ArrayList Vs LinkedList

In this blog post, I will be comparing the ArrayList and LinkedList classes. I will be explaining how they are similar, how they are different and when you should use which.   Similarities: Both are Collections and implement the List interface Both are used to store a dynamic number of elements (Primitive or Object type) Differences ArrayList uses an array data structure internally to store the data. A LinkedList on the other hand, uses a doubly linked list internally as the data structure to store data. If you are not familiar with what a Linked List data structure is, you can refer this link . When you need to insert or delete data from the bottom of the List, an ArrayList is faster. If you need to insert or delete an element from the middle of the list,  a LinkedList is faster. An ArrayList  uses an array to store the data internally. So when you insert or delete an element from the bottom of the list, this does not affect the array. However if you insert or delete an element...
