string - How to set a character limit in Java

Question

If I want to make a simple password checker in java and lets say I have a string and I want to count the characters in it, then make sure that it is above six, what would I do?

Answer 1

Your can call length() method on String object. It returns length of that string.

if (str.length() <= 6) //or < 7
    //do something
else
    //do something

You can not explicitly set character limit in String object.
