Testing if a string is NOT equal to...

11 New Member
Hi, I'm currently coding a Java program for a University coursework, and I'm a little bit stuck.

How do I find out if a string is NOT equal to a certain value? I know to test if it is equal, you use .equals, but I have no idea how to test if it's not equal to.

Thanks

Use ! to negate a boolean expression, in this case !str1.equals(st r2).

However, I don't know how to test the variable that contains...

Consecutive index values might not correspond to consecutive Unicode characters because a Unicode character might be encoded as more than one Char. To work with each Unicode character...

I am a newbie to VB.NET (and VB in general). I'd like to replace quote marks with the string. For example, I have a string that is "3dmesh 45 45" including the quotes. I'd like to remove the quotes and end up with the string equal to (literally) 3dmesh 45 45 I'm using LineofText = Replace(LineofText, "3dmesh 45 45", 3dmesh 45 45)

Hi, I want to ask some basic question about the string type. When compiling the unsafe code: --------- string a = "wori"; string* b = &a; --------- it pops up errors saying both 'string*b' and '&a' are illegal because string is a managed type, while in the same case the 'int' type is available. Why can't i get the point or the address of a string type? Is that because string is immutable and every time you change it a new address will...
