Removing the first character from a string in Java

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to remove the first character from a string in Java.

Removing the first character

To remove the first character from a string, we can use the built-in substring() method in Java.

Here is an example, that removes the first character h from the following string.

String str = "hello";
String result = str.substring(1);
System.out.println(str.substring(1));

Output:

ello

In the example above, we have passed 1 as argument to the substring() method. so it begins the extraction at index position 1 and extracts to the end of a string.

Note: The substring() method doesn’t mutates the original string, instead of it creates a new one with the extracted characters.
