Searching:

Contains: Determines whether a substring occurs within the string.

bool contains = str.Contains("World"); // true

bool startsWith = str.StartsWith("Hello"); // true

bool endsWith = str.EndsWith("World!"); // true

IndexOf: Returns the index of the first occurrence of a specified substring.

int index = str.IndexOf("World"); // 7

LastIndexOf: Returns the index of the last occurrence of a specified substring.

int lastIndex = str.LastIndexOf("o"); // 8

Modification:

Substring: Extracts a substring from the string.

string sub = str.Substring(7, 5); // "World"

Replace: Replaces all occurrences of a specified substring with another substring.

string replaced = str.Replace("World", "C#"); // "Hello, C#!"

TrimEnd: Removes all trailing white-space characters from the string.

string trimmedEnd = str.TrimEnd();

Splitting and Joining:

Split: Splits the string into an array of substrings based on a specified delimiter.

string[] words = str.Split(' '); // {"Hello,", "World!"}

Join: Concatenates an array of strings into a single string, with an optional separator.

string joined = string.Join(" ", words); // "Hello, World!"

Format:
