Kotlin String FAQs
No, in Kotlin, strings are enclosed in double quotes. Single quotes are used for characters.
You can concatenate strings in Kotlin using the + operator, the plus() function, or string templates. Example: "Hello, " + "Kotlin" or "Hello, ".plus("Kotlin") or "Hello, $name".
String interpolation is the process of embedding expressions or variables directly within string literals using ${} syntax. Example: "Hello, $name!"
You can access individual characters of a string using square brackets or the get function. Example: val char = text[0] or val char = text.get(0).
Regular strings are enclosed in double quotes and may require escaping special characters like \n or \t. Raw strings, denoted by triple-quoted """, treat characters as literals and are often used for multi-line or special character-rich content.
No, strings in Kotlin are immutable, meaning you cannot change their content once they are created. You can create a new string with modified content instead.
You can use the toUpperCase() and toLowerCase() functions to convert a string to uppercase or lowercase, respectively.
Kotlin's String class provides various functions for string manipulation, including replace(), trim(), substring(), split(), startsWith(), endsWith(), and many more.
