What is split in java?

Question

Can anyone explains me this?

Answer 1

What split does is

If you have a string
Ex - String s = "Hello How are you?"

And you use the split method on it like
String[] array = s.split(" ");

This method will return an array which will have strings which are different words of the string.
Which are separated by space.

The value of array
Will be
{ "Hello", "How","are","you?" }

You can give any character to split method and it will split the given string based on the occurrences the a paricular character. It can also have an additional parameter

Which will be an integer value
This will return the no. Of strings array words based on the no. Of values;

Ex- String s = "Hello How are you?";

String[] arr = s.split(" ", 2);

Due to this the value of arr will be

{ "Hello" ,"How are you?"}
