Sometimes, we need to convert String to byte array. We can use getBytes() method of String to do it, Method syntax: [crayon-6743dc7404319190884504/] String getBytes Example: [crayon-6743dc740431c553039691/] When you run above program, you will get below output: [crayon-6743dc740431d407979675/] There is one more overloaded method for getBytes Method syntax: [crayon-6743dc740431f937282451/] It encodes String to specified charset format.

In this post, we will see how to check if one String is rotation of another or not. For example: [crayon-6743dc7405bc0180200823/] Approach: Lets say you need to check whether str1 and str2 is rotation of one another or not. Create a new String with str3= str1 + str1 Check if str3 contains str2 or not. […]
