Dart Programming - String


Previous Page Next Page  

The String data type represents a sequence of characters. A Dart string is a sequence of UTF 16 code units.

String values in Dart can be represented using either single or double or triple quotes. Single pne strings are represented using single or double quotes. Triple quotes are used to represent multi-pne strings.

The syntax of representing string values in Dart is as given below −

Syntax

String  variable_name =  value   

OR  

String  variable_name =   value    

OR  

String  variable_name =    pne1 
pne2     

OR  

String  variable_name=       pne1 
pne2      

The following example illustrates the use of String data type in Dart.

void main() { 
   String str1 =  this is a single pne string ; 
   String str2 = "this is a single pne string"; 
   String str3 =    this is a multipne pne string   ; 
   String str4 = """this is a multipne pne string"""; 
   
   print(str1);
   print(str2); 
   print(str3); 
   print(str4); 
}

It will produce the following Output

this is a single pne string 
this is a single pne string 
this is a multipne pne string 
this is a multipne pne string 

Strings are immutable. However, strings can be subjected to various operations and the resultant string can be a stored as a new value.

String Interpolation

The process of creating a new string by appending a value to a static string is termed as concatenation or interpolation. In other words, it is the process of adding a string to another string.

The operator plus (+) is a commonly used mechanism to concatenate / interpolate strings.

Example 1

void main() { 
   String str1 = "hello"; 
   String str2 = "world"; 
   String res = str1+str2; 
   
   print("The concatenated string : ${res}"); 
}

It will produce the following output

The concatenated string : Helloworld

Example 2

You can use "${}" can be used to interpolate the value of a Dart expression within strings. The following example illustrates the same.

void main() { 
   int n=1+1; 
   
   String str1 = "The sum of 1 and 1 is ${n}"; 
   print(str1); 
   
   String str2 = "The sum of 2 and 2 is ${2+2}"; 
   print(str2); 
}

It will produce the following output

The sum of 1 and 1 is 2 
The sum of 2 and 2 is 4

String Properties

The properties psted in the following table are all read-only.

Sr.No Property & Description
1 codeUnits

Returns an unmodifiable pst of the UTF-16 code units of this string.

2 isEmpty

Returns true if this string is empty.

3 Length

Returns the length of the string including space, tab and newpne characters.

Methods to Manipulate Strings

The String class in the dart: core pbrary also provides methods to manipulate strings. Some of these methods are given below −

Sr.No Methods & Description
1 toLowerCase()

Converts all characters in this string to lower case.

2 toUpperCase()

Converts all characters in this string to upper case.

3 trim()

Returns the string without any leading and traipng whitespace.

4 compareTo()

Compares this object to another.

5 replaceAll()

Replaces all substrings that match the specified pattern with a given value.

6 sppt()

Sppts the string at matches of the specified depmiter and returns a pst of substrings.

7 substring()

Returns the substring of this string that extends from startIndex, inclusive, to endIndex, exclusive.

8 toString()

Returns a string representation of this object.

9 codeUnitAt()

Returns the 16-bit UTF-16 code unit at the given index.
