1. In Java, for a string x, what is the runtime cost of s.length()? Is it O(1) or O(n)?    stackoverflow.com

I've been told that code such as:

for (int i=0; i<x.length(); i++) {

17. get string length    coderanch.com

array.length will return the length of an array. string.length() is a method that returns the length of a string. Every array inherently knows its own length. It's a property of an array and can be shown with the array.length . I know it's a bit confusing, but just remember that's how it is.

18. UTF-8 string length    coderanch.com

the length method on String returns the number of characters. Luckily, Java treats all Strings as 16bit Unicode, so the memory space occupied is trivial to calculate (multiply the number of characters by 2). This is only really relevent when using a UTF IO stream . If you really wanted, you can use public byte[] getBytes(Stringenc) and then inspect the bytes ...

19. What's the maximum length of a string?    coderanch.com

You might as well just go for the string. A string can be pretty big. They're basically just over-glorified char[]'s. Since an array's size is of the type int, I'm guessing the maximum size of String is 2,147,483,647 characters. That should be enough to hold 5,000 characters with room to spare. With the POST http method, a large amount of information ...

Java has no limit - the JLS does not specify a limit. There is an implicit limitation if one presumes that a String must be implemented as a single array.

24. is there a maximum length for java.lang.String?    coderanch.com

There is one other limitation, though it would only come up rarely in practice: current Sun compilers don't like literal strings (like String s = "foo") over 65535 characters long. This was discussed somewhere on JavaRanch a month or two back, I remember writing a quick program to confirm it. In practical terms, RAM limitations crop up before int overflow errors. ...

25. Max length for a String?    coderanch.com

The length() method returns a signed integer, so that the largest length() value is 2GB. Internally, all the implementations of String I've looked at use an int to keep track of the number of characters, meaning that 2GB is a hard limit. Given that many Java implementations have a heap-size limit somewhat less that 2GB, this is not really a problem! ...

Although the Graphics2D class is useful, casting to it here might not be necessary, and it might cause an error under some circumstances. Also you are creating a Font object and then not using it.
