String methods

[Rajani Sudhakar]

Given the following snippet:
______________________________

if( "String".endsWith(""))
Sytem.out.println("True");
else
System.out.println("False");
______________________________
The code produces
1.True
2.False

Correct answer is 1.true

--------------------
Another snippet given:

if( "String".startsWith(""))
Sytem.out.println("True");
else
System.out.println("False");
____________________________

The code produces
1.True
2.False

Correct answer : 1.True.

Are the methods "startsWith()" and "endsWith()" in the scope of SCKP1.4 exam?
If yes, can anyone the send me the appropriate link about these methods?
What are the other specific methods related to Strings that are to be known for the exam?

Thanks in advance,
rajani.

Knowing the various methods of the String class is not a stated objective according to Sun's Site.

That said, String is a very commonly used object in Java and it would behoove you to be familiar with the methods defined therein. There's something to be said for someone that knows enough to pass the SCJP exam and then there's something else about someone that actually knows Java.
