  43  * The {@code String} class represents character strings. All
  44  * string literals in Java programs, such as {@code "abc"}, are
  45  * implemented as instances of this class.
  46  * <p>
  47  * Strings are constant; their values cannot be changed after they
  48  * are created. String buffers support mutable strings.
  49  * Because String objects are immutable they can be shared. For example:
  50  * <p><blockquote><pre>
  51  *     String str = "abc";
  52  * </pre></blockquote><p>
  53  * is equivalent to:
  54  * <p><blockquote><pre>
  55  *     char data[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};
  56  *     String str = new String(data);
  57  * </pre></blockquote><p>
  58  * Here are some more examples of how strings can be used:
  59  * <p><blockquote><pre>
  60  *     System.out.println("abc");
  61  *     String cde = "cde";
  62  *     System.out.println("abc" + cde);
  63  *     String c = "abc".substring(2,3);
  64  *     String d = cde.substring(1, 2);
  65  * </pre></blockquote>
  66  * <p>
  67  * The class {@code String} includes methods for examining
  68  * individual characters of the sequence, for comparing strings, for
  69  * searching strings, for extracting substrings, and for creating a
  70  * copy of a string with all characters translated to uppercase or to
  71  * lowercase. Case mapping is based on the Unicode Standard version
  72  * specified by the {@link java.lang.Character Character} class.
  73  * <p>
  74  * The Java language provides special support for the string
  75  * concatenation operator (&nbsp;+&nbsp;), and for conversion of
  76  * other objects to strings. String concatenation is implemented
  77  * through the {@code StringBuilder}(or {@code StringBuffer})
  78  * class and its {@code append} method.
  79  * String conversions are implemented through the method
  80  * {@code toString}, defined by {@code Object} and
  81  * inherited by all classes in Java. For additional information on
  82  * string concatenation and conversion, see Gosling, Joy, and Steele,
  83  * <i>The Java Language Specification</i>.
  84  *
  85  * <p> Unless otherwise noted, passing a <tt>null</tt> argument to a constructor
  86  * or method in this class will cause a {@link NullPointerException} to be
  87  * thrown.
  88  *
  89  * <p>A {@code String} represents a string in the UTF-16 format
  90  * in which <em>supplementary characters</em> are represented by <em>surrogate
  91  * pairs</em> (see the section <a href="Character.html#unicode">Unicode
  92  * Character Representations</a> in the {@code Character} class for
  93  * more information).
  94  * Index values refer to {@code char} code units, so a supplementary
  95  * character uses two positions in a {@code String}.
  96  * <p>The {@code String} class provides methods for dealing with
  97  * Unicode code points (i.e., characters), in addition to those for
  98  * dealing with Unicode code units (i.e., {@code char} values).

2237      * <p> The array returned by this method contains each substring of this
2238      * string that is terminated by another substring that matches the given
2239      * expression or is terminated by the end of the string.  The substrings in
2240      * the array are in the order in which they occur in this string.  If the
2241      * expression does not match any part of the input then the resulting array
2242      * has just one element, namely this string.
2243      *
2244      * <p> The {@code limit} parameter controls the number of times the
2245      * pattern is applied and therefore affects the length of the resulting
2246      * array.  If the limit <i>n</i> is greater than zero then the pattern
2247      * will be applied at most <i>n</i>&nbsp;-&nbsp;1 times, the array's
2248      * length will be no greater than <i>n</i>, and the array's last entry
2249      * will contain all input beyond the last matched delimiter.  If <i>n</i>
2250      * is non-positive then the pattern will be applied as many times as
2251      * possible and the array can have any length.  If <i>n</i> is zero then
2252      * the pattern will be applied as many times as possible, the array can
2253      * have any length, and trailing empty strings will be discarded.
2254      *
2255      * <p> The string {@code "boo:and:foo"}, for example, yields the
