Java

A String represents an array of chars. Altough it is an object, it is not instanciated as such.

String s = "Die optimale Betriebstemperatur für Bier beträgt 3°C";
String u = "Use the + operator to concatenate Strings." +
           "Special Strings: \n (carriage return), \t (tab)." + 
           "Strings are included into Double Quotes." +
           "A Double Quote itself can be written like this: \" ";

If the String is subject to many concatenation operations, use for performance reasons a StringBuffer instead.

Pattern Matching and Regular Expressions: String.matches

Finding a substring in a String: String.indexOf
