String without double quotes

[Hd Desai]

Hi,

I am new to Java,

I want to insert a string in database but it should not have double quotes.

e.g i want to insert string TJ2003W.

But when we declare this as string it is surronded by double quotes.

Pls help reagrding this.

Hi, the double quotes are only needed for Java so it knows you want to declare a String. The Stringobject itself doesnt contain the quotes!

Segal:

Expanding on Mark's comment, in Java, a string literal is represented in a program's source code by enclosing the desired string within quotes. In the compiled version of the program, a String object is created that corresponds to that string literal. This object does not include the quotes.

For example, consider this line:

String str = "a test string";

Here, "a test string" is a string literal. However, what str refers at runtime will be a String object that contains the characters a test string. It will not include quotes. Thus, a quoted string is simply a source code mechanism.
