/**
 * The {@code String} class represents character strings. All
 * string literals in Java programs, such as {@code "abc"}, are
 * implemented as instances of this class.
 * <p>
 * Strings are constant; their values cannot be changed after they
 * are created. String buffers support mutable strings.
 * Because String objects are immutable they can be shared. For example:
 * <blockquote>
 *     String str = "abc";
 * </pre>

* is equivalent to: * <blockquote>

 *     char data[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};
 *     String str = new String(data);
 * </pre>

* Here are some more examples of how strings can be used: * <blockquote>

 *     System.out.println("abc");
 *     String cde = "cde";
 *     System.out.println("abc" + cde);
 *     String c = "abc".substring(2,3);
 *     String d = cde.substring(1, 2);
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * The class {@code String} includes methods for examining
 * individual characters of the sequence, for comparing strings, for
 * searching strings, for extracting substrings, and for creating a
 * copy of a string with all characters translated to uppercase or to
 * lowercase. Case mapping is based on the Unicode Standard version
 * specified by the {@link java.lang.Character Character} class.
 * <p>
 * The Java language provides special support for the string
 * concatenation operator ( + ), and for conversion of
 * other objects to strings. String concatenation is implemented
 * through the {@code StringBuilder}(or {@code StringBuffer})
 * class and its {@code append} method.
 * String conversions are implemented through the method
 * {@code toString}, defined by {@code Object} and
 * inherited by all classes in Java. For additional information on
 * string concatenation and conversion, see Gosling, Joy, and Steele,
 * <i>The Java Language Specification.
 *
 * <p> Unless otherwise noted, passing a null argument to a constructor
 * or method in this class will cause a {@link NullPointerException} to be
 * thrown.
 *
 * <p>A {@code String} represents a string in the UTF-16 format
 * in which <em>supplementary characters are represented by surrogate
 * pairs</em> (see the section Unicode
 * Character Representations</a> in the {@code Character} class for
 * more information).
 * Index values refer to {@code char} code units, so a supplementary
 * character uses two positions in a {@code String}.
 * <p>The {@code String} class provides methods for dealing with
 * Unicode code points (i.e., characters), in addition to those for
 * dealing with Unicode code units (i.e., {@code char} values).

         *
         * <p> The array returned by this method contains each substring of this
         * string that is terminated by another substring that matches the given
         * expression or is terminated by the end of the string.  The substrings in
         * the array are in the order in which they occur in this string.  If the
         * expression does not match any part of the input then the resulting array
         * has just one element, namely this string.
         *
         * <p> When there is a positive-width match at the beginning of this
         * string then an empty leading substring is included at the beginning
         * of the resulting array. A zero-width match at the beginning however
         * never produces such empty leading substring.
         *
         * <p> The {@code limit} parameter controls the number of times the
         * pattern is applied and therefore affects the length of the resulting
         * array.  If the limit <i>n is greater than zero then the pattern
         * will be applied at most <i>n - 1 times, the array's
         * length will be no greater than <i>n, and the array's last entry
         * will contain all input beyond the last matched delimiter.  If <i>n
         * is non-positive then the pattern will be applied as many times as
         * possible and the array can have any length.  If <i>n is zero then
         * the pattern will be applied as many times as possible, the array can
         * have any length, and trailing empty strings will be discarded.
