char to string ????

[Jova]

Is there a method or way for me to take a couple of char's and make a sting
out of them .

Example of what I want to do.

String | char
b = b
ba = a
bad = d

couple of char ... char[] couple = {'m', 'f'};
make a string ... String s = new String(couple); // "mf"

Is this what you want?

Yes. Thank You

Another approach would be, where 'b', 'a' and 'd' are chars:

String s = b + a + d + "";

Generally any concatenation involving a string results in a String.
So if you need to a sum, at the same time, you need to isolate it
in brackets:

String s = b + (1+3) + d + "";

Of course if you already have an array of chars, then Jova's
approach is best.

I thought it would evaluate left to right, so String s = b + a + d + "";
would be equivalent to

String s = ((( b + a ) + d ) + ""; which is not what was asked for. If you
put the "" first it should work, though. If b, a, and d are int's that is
what it would do. It might treat char specially.

You can also create a StringBuffer, add the chars one at a time, and then
make a String from it.

I did test it with char's before "" and it does add the value instead of
concatenating as strings, as left to right says it should.

My favorite was something like:

System.out.println( 2 + "+" +2+" equals " +2+2);

Personally, I think overloading the + operator was a bad idea. Notice that
Java doesn't allow user operator overloading, as users might apply operators
in confusing ways. Then again, the PL/I string concatenation operator, ||,
was already taken.

The awk concatenation operator, nothing at all, might have worked, though.

(big snip)

Well, Java tends to borrow from C more than C++.
