  substring

  • public String substring(int beginIndex,
                            int endIndex)

    Returns a string that is a substring of this string. The substring begins at the specified beginIndex and extends to the character at index endIndex - 1. Thus the length of the substring is endIndex-beginIndex.

    Examples:

     "hamburger".substring(4, 8) returns "urge"
     "smiles".substring(1, 5) returns "mile"
     

    Parameters:

    beginIndex - the beginning index, inclusive.

    endIndex - the ending index, exclusive.

    Returns:

    the specified substring.

    Throws:

    IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the beginIndex is negative, or endIndex is larger than the length of this String object, or beginIndex is larger than endIndex.
