[Solved] “Hello”.indexOf(“”) returns 0 [duplicate]

Question

First, if you were looking for a null character you would probably want to do (char)0 because "" is an empty string (no character).

Second, if Java uses a null character (they don’t have to IIRC) then they hide it.

EDIT: Struck my third point because I’m not sure about it anymore.

SECOND EDIT: I looked it up, Java strings are not null terminated. They rely on the length field.
