regex ^((?!kk).)*$ returns true if a line does not contain kk, otherwise returns falseExamplepublic class RegTest {    public static void main(String[] args) {       // TODO Auto-generated method stub       String s="tutorials";       boolean i=s.matches("^((?!kk).)*$");       System.out.println(i);    } }

Exampleimport java.util.regex.*; class PatternMatch{    public static void main(String args[]) {       String content = "I am a student";       String string = ".*boy.*";       boolean isMatch = Pattern.matches(string, content);       System.out.println("The line contains 'boy'?"+ isMatch);    } }Outputthe line contains 'boy'?falsematches()­­It is used to check if the whole text matches a pattern. Its output is boolean. It returns true if match is found otherwise false.This is one of simplest and easiest way of searching a String in a text using Regex .There is a another method compile() , if you want ... Read More

\R matches any line break as defined by the Unicode standardPattern p = Pattern.compile("\R");Unicode line-break sequence is equivalent to \u000D\u000A|[\u000A\u000B\u000C\u000D\u0085\u2028\u2029]

In Java regex matches() matches the input string against the whole string as it add a ^ and $ at the end of the input string.so it will not match the substring. So for matching substring, you should use find().Exampleimport java.util.regex.*; class PatternMatchingExample {    public static void main(String args[]) {       String content = "aabbcc";       String string = "aa";       Pattern p = Pattern.compile(string);       Matcher m = p.matcher(content);       System.out.println(" 'aa' Match:"+ m.matches());       System.out.println(" 'aa' Match:"+ m.find());    } }Output'aa' Match:false 'aa' Match:true

the syntax? i:x makes the string search case-insensitive. for egpublic class RegCaseSense {    public static void main(String[] args) {       String stringSearch = "HI we are at java class.";       // this won't work because the pattern is in upper-case       System.out.println("Try this 1: " + stringSearch.matches(".*CLASS.*"));         // the magic (?i:X) syntax makes this search case-insensitive, so it returns true       System.out.println("Try this 2: " + stringSearch.matches("(?i:.*CLASS.*)"));    } }

Widening refers to passing a lower size data type like int to a higher size data type like long. Method overloading is possible in such case. ExampleLive Demopublic class Tester {    public static void main(String args[]) {       Tester tester = new Tester();       short c = 1, d = 2;       int e = 1, f = 2;       System.out.println(tester.add(c, d));       System.out.println(tester.add(e, f));    }    public int add(short a, short b) {       System.out.println("short");       return a + b;    }    public int add(int a, int b) {       System.out.println("int"); return a + b;    } } OutputShort 3  Int 3

There are three kinds of variables in Java −Local variablesInstance variablesClass/Static variablesLocal VariablesLocal variables are declared in methods, constructors, or blocks.Local variables are created when the method, constructor or block is entered and the variable will  be destroyed once it exits the method, constructor, or block.Access modifiers cannot be used for local variables.Local variables are visible only within the declared method, constructor, or block.Local variables are implemented at stack level internally.There is no default value for local variables, so local variables should be declared and an initial value should be assigned before the first use.ExampleHere, age is a local variable. ...
