Suppose I have the following in String format:
2.2
And I want to replace the decimal point with an empty space, to make it look like this:
22
How do I do this? I thought replace would have done the trick, but when I try it like this:
string.replace('.', '');
I get an error with the '' because it supposedly isn't a character. That makes sense, so how else can I accomplish what I want?
If you just exchange single for double quotes, this will work because an empty string is a legal value, as opposed to an "empty character", and there's an overload replace(CharSequence, CharSequence). Keep in mind that CharSequence is the supertype of String.
The method replace(char, char) in the type String is not applicable for the arguments (char, String)
string.replace(".", "")replace.
replace() won't change the string, it will return a new one. You will have to write yourString = yourString.replace(".", "");try :
string.replace(".", "");
Other way is to use replaceAll :
string.replaceAll("\\.","");
