Playing with Strings

This program explores the String class and its various methods. With this you will be able to initialize strings using different constructors and use them. To see how the methods of the 'String' class work, see the following code.

This program explores the String class and its various methods. With this you will be able to initialize strings using different constructors and use them. To see how the methods of the 'String' class work, see the following code.

The program provides a menu which helps in exploring the methods. Each method is presented with its syntax and and the end result if that method were to be applied to the string.
