In this article, we will understand with a Java program on how to get length of a String in Java 1.8 version
Already in one of the previous article, we discussed how to get length of a String using earlier versions of Java like 5 or 7, etc.
Get length of a String:
- length() method of String
- Calculates the length of the invoking String
- Returns the length of the String if it consists characters
- Returns 0 (Zero) if the invoking String is empty
- If invoking string is null, then java.lang.NullPointerException is thrown
GetStringLength.java
package in.bench.resources.java8.string.methods;
import java.util.stream.Stream;
public class GetStringLength {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// 1. string
String url = "BenchResources.Net";
// 1.1 checking string is empty
long lengthOfUrlStr = Stream.of(url).map(String::length).findFirst().get();
System.out.println("Length of (" + url + ") is = " + lengthOfUrlStr);
// 2. Empty string
String str1 = "";
// 2.1 checking string is empty
long lengthOfStr1 = Stream.of(str1).map(String::length).findFirst().get();
System.out.println("Length of (" + str1 + ") is = " + lengthOfStr1 + "\n\n");
// 3. null string
String str2 = null;
// 3.1 checking empty on null string
long lengthOfStr2 = Stream.of(str2).map(String::length).findFirst().get();
System.out.println("Length of (" + str2 + ") is = " + lengthOfStr2);
}
}
Output:
Length of (BenchResources.Net) is = 18
Length of () is = 0
