Java.lang.String.copyValueOf() in Java

The copyValueOf() primarily copies the content of a character array into the string. Two variants of this function are available and both are discussed in this article.
Implementation 1 :

Syntax:
public static String copyValueOf(char[] ch)
Parameters:
ch : The character array.
Return Value : 
This function returns the string with the contents of character array copied 

// Java code to demonstrate the working of
// copyValueOf implementation 1
public class Copy1 {
  public static void main(String args[]) {

    // Initialising Character array
     char[] ch = {'A', 's', 't', 'h', 'a', ' ', 'T', 'y', 'a', 'g', 'i'};

     // Initialising String
     String ch2 = "";

     // Copying value in ch2
     // now ch2 is equal to "Astha Tyagi"
     ch2 = ch2.copyValueOf( ch );

     // Printing String
     System.out.println("The new copied string is : " + ch2);
  }
}

Output:

The new copied string is : Astha Tyagi

In the second implementation, the subarray can also be extracted instead of whole array.
Implementation 2 :

Syntax:
public static String copyValueOf(char[] ch, int index, int num)
Parameters:
ch : The character array.
index :  The starting position of array from which copy is to start.
num :  Number of elements that has to be copied. 
Return Value : 
This function returns the string with the contents of character array copied

// Java code to demonstrate the working of
// copyValueOf implementation 2
public class Copy2 {
  public static void main(String args[]) {

    // Initialising Character array
     char[] ch = {'A', 's', 't', 'h', 'a', ' ', 'T', 'y', 'a', 'g', 'i'};

     // Initialising String
     String ch2 = "";

     // Copying value in ch2
     // only first 5 are extracted
     // now ch2 is equal to "Astha"
     ch2 = ch2.copyValueOf( ch , 0, 5 );

     // Printing String
     System.out.println("The new copied string is : " + ch2);
  }
}

Output :

The new copied string is : Astha

Possible application : This function can be used to general copy or extract only prefix or suffix from the string using implementation 2. One possible example can be extracting only the amount from the given “Rs 1000” type of strings which deal with denominations.

// Java code to demonstrate the application of
// copyValueOf
public class Appli2 {
  public static void main(String args[]) {

    // Initialising Character array
     char[] ch = {'R', 's', ' ', '1', '0', '2', '4' };

     // Original array
     System.out.print("The original array is : ");
     for (int i=0; i< ch.length ; i++)
     System.out.print(ch[i]);

      System.out.print("\n");

     // Initialising String
     String ch2 = "";

     // Copying value in ch2
     // Rs is not included
     // now ch2 is equal to "1024"
     ch2 = ch2.copyValueOf( ch , 3, 4 );

     // Printing String
     System.out.println("The new string is : " + ch2);
  }
}

Output :

The original array is : Rs 1024
The new string is : 1024
