Java.lang.String.compareTo() There are  three  variants of  compareTo()  method. This article depicts about all of them, as follows 1. int compareTo(Object obj)   :  This method compares this String to another Object. Syntax : int compareTo(Object obj) Parameters : obj : the Object to be compared. Return Value : The value 0 if the argument is a string lexicographically equal to this string; a value less than 0 if the argument is a string lexicographically greater than this string; and a value greater than 0 if the argument is a string lexicographically less than this string. public class Test {    public static void main(String args[]) {       String str1 = "Strings are immutable";       String str2 = new String("Strings are immutable");       String str3 = new String("Integers are not immutable");       int result = str1.compareTo( str2 );       System.out.println(result);       result = str2.compareTo( str3 );     

Java String charAt() method The Java String charAt() method returns the character at the specified index. The index value should lie between 0 and length()-1. Signature: public char charAt(int index) Parameter: index- Index of the character to be returned. Return: returns character at the specified position. Exception: StringIndexOutOfBoundsException- If index is negative or greater then the length of the String. Example: To show working of  charAt()  method class Gfg {      public static void main(String args[])      {          String s = "Welcome! to Java Planet" ;              char ch = s.charAt( 3 );          System.out.println(ch);              ch = s.charAt( 0 );          System.out.println(ch);      } } Output: c W Let's see the example of charAt() method where we are passing greater index value. In such case, it throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException at run time. // Java program to demonstrate // working of c

String Concatenation in Java In java, string concatenation forms a new string  that is  the combination of multiple strings. There are two ways to concat string in java: By + (string concatenation) operator By concat() method 1) String Concatenation by + (string concatenation) operator Java string concatenation operator (+) is used to add strings. For Example: class TestStringConcatenation1{ public static void main(String args[]){ String s="Sachin"+" Tendulkar"; System.out.println(s);//Sachin Tendulkar } } Output:Sachin Tendulkar The  Java compiler transforms  above code to this: String s=(new StringBuilder()).append("Sachin").append(" Tendulkar).toString(); In java, String concatenation is implemented through the StringBuilder (or StringBuffer) class and its append method. String concatenation operator produces a new string by appending the second operand onto the end of the first operand. The string concatenation oper

Thread.sleep() : The  java.lang.Thread.sleep(long millis)  method causes the currently executing thread to sleep for the specified number of milliseconds, subject to the precision and accuracy of system timers and schedulers. Declaration Following is the declaration for  java.lang.Thread.sleep()  method public static void sleep(long millis) throws InterruptedException Parameters millis  − This is the length of time to sleep in milliseconds. Return Value This method does not return any value. Exception InterruptedException  − if any thread has interrupted the current thread. The interrupted status of the current thread is cleared when this exception is thrown. Example The following example shows the usage of java.lang.Thread.sleep() method. import java.lang.*; public class ThreadDemo implements Runnable { Thread t; public void run() {  for (int i = 10; i < 13; i++) {  System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " " + i);  try {  /

Database Language A DBMS has appropriate languages and interfaces to express database queries and updates. Database languages can be used to read, store and update the data in the database. Types of Database Language   1. Data Definition Language DDL  stands for  D ata  D efinition  L anguage. It is used to define database structure or pattern. It is used to create schema, tables, indexes, constraints, etc. in the database. Using the DDL statements, you can create the skeleton of the database. Data definition language is used to store the information of metadata like the number of tables and schemas, their names, indexes, columns in each table, constraints, etc. Here are some tasks that come under DDL: Create:  It is used to create objects in the database. Alter:  It is used to alter the structure of the database. Drop:  It is used to delete objects from the database. Truncate:  It
