It appears from the above that a String is nothing more than a list of characters in between quotes. It's much simpler to do the following and make a String object: String sometext = "How do I make String? Type some characters between quotation marks!"

If we didn't have the String class, we'd probably have to write some code like this: char sometext = Ĭlearly, this would be a royal pain in the Processing behind. What is a String?Ī String, at its core, is really just a fancy way of storing an array of characters.

The full documentation can be found on java's String page. This page only covers some of the available methods of the String class. Where do we find documentation for the String class?Īlthough technically a Java class, because Strings are so commonly used, Processing includes documentation in its reference. Nevertheless, although you may have used a String here and there, it's time to unleash their full potential. PImage img = loadImage("filename.jpg") // Using a String for a file name

For example, if you've printed some text to the message window or loaded an image from a file, you've written code like so: println("printing some text to the message window!") // Printing a String

Strings are probably not a totally new concept for you, it's quite likely you've dealt with them before. If you are looking to display text onscreen with Processing, you've got to first become familiar with the String class. If you see any errors or have comments, please let us know.
