1. Different methods to join or concatenate strings in java

Join String using + operator
Combine String using String concat method
Contact String using String format
Join String using StringBuilder format
Join String using String join (Method included in java in JDK 1.8)

We have already discussed Join Strings in java8 using StringJoiner.

2. Program – Join or concat or combine multiple strings in java

package org.learn;
 
public class JoinStrings {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        String player = "Maria";
        String game = "Tennis";
         
        // 1. Join String using + operator
        System.out.println("1 Join String using + operator:");
        String playerAndGame = player + game;       
        System.out.println(playerAndGame);
        playerAndGame = player + " " + game;
        System.out.println(playerAndGame);
 
        // 2. Join String using String concat method
        System.out.println("2. Join String using concat: ");
        playerAndGame = player.concat(game);        
        System.out.println(playerAndGame);
        playerAndGame = player.concat(" ").concat(game);
        System.out.println(playerAndGame);
 
        // 3. Join String using String format
        System.out.println("3. Join String using String format: ");
        playerAndGame = String.format("%s %s", player, game);
        System.out.println(playerAndGame);
 
        // 4. Join String using StringBuilder format
        System.out.println("4. Join String using StringBuilder: ");
        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
        builder.append(player);
        builder.append(" ");
        builder.append(game);
        System.out.println(builder.toString());
 
        // 5. Join String using String join
        System.out.println("5. Join String using String join: ");
        playerAndGame = String.join(" ", player,game);
        System.out.println(playerAndGame);
    }
}
