String

Know how to declare and initialize a String variable.

Know how to check for String equality.

Know how to join one or more String values to form a single String.

You can just declare a String variable with a type and name:

String title;

Then later in your code you can initialize it to hold a value:

title = "Java - The Complete Reference";

Or you can declare and initialize it all in one line of code:

String title = "Java - The Best Language";

To test if a String variable contains a particular value, you need to use the equals or equalsIgnoreCase method:

password.equals("password")
school.equalsIgnoreCase ("The League")

To join Strings together, you can use the + operator:

String greeting = "Hello ";
String name = "Bob";

System.out.println(greeting + name);

The above code would pring "Hello Bob" to the console.
