Common Mistakes To Avoid

❌ Common pitfalls

The following common mistakes should be avoided:

• Declaring a string with string identifier instead of String

• Enclosing a string in '' (single quotes)

• Ignoring the difference between the String literal and the String object

• Trying to modify the original string

• Treating the == operator and the equals() method equally when comparing two strings

• Using / instead of \ for the escape sequence

• Calling a method on a String type object incorrectly (not using the . operator)

• Forgetting to enclose the string in double quotes properly (for example, "Java instead of "Java")
