Learn, how to find out the length of string in Java.

Getting the string length

To get the length of a string, we can use the built-in length() method in Java.

Here is an example, that gets the length of a name string:

String name = "corejava" ;

System.out.println(name.length());

Output:

8

Similary, we can also use the toCharArray().length property.

String name = "corejava" ;

System.out.println(name.toCharArray().length); // 8
