[Popescu Ion]

Hi everybody,
I have a stupid question. What is wrong with this program, coz i get the same answer all the time = adsdfaw , and i should get = bdsdfbw . Any ideas ? Thnx in advance.

public class test {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String text = "adsdfaw";
		text.replace("a", "b");
		System.out.print(text);
	}

}

The only stupid questions are those that are never asked ;)

What your seeing is the effects of immutability (is that even a word?!).

Strings are immutable so when you give it a value, thats it, you can't change it. You would have to re-assign is or create a new string altogether
