String contains() method example1

class ContainsExample
{  
public static void main(String args[])
{  
String nm="do you know phptpoint";  
System.out.println(nm.contains("do you know"));  
System.out.println(nm.contains("about"));  
System.out.println(nm.contains("phptpoint world"));

String contains() Method Example 2

public class ContainsExample2 
{  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
	{  
        String strl1 = "Hello Phptpoint Users";  
        boolean isContains = strl1.contains("Phptpoint");  
        System.out.println(isContains);  
        System.out.println(strl1.contains("Phptpoint"));   
    }  
} 

String contains() Method Example 3

The method contain() is useful in finding a char-sequence in the string. We can use it to generate search based results in a control structure.

public class ContainsExample3 {   
    public static void main(String[] args) {          
        String strl2 = " Welcome to Phptpoint.com";        
        if(strl2.contains("Phptpoint.com")) {  
            System.out.println("Visit Phptpoint.com");  
        }else  
            System.out.println("Result not found");       
    }  
}
