CSC152 2005F, Class 8: Strings

Admin:
* Talk Friday: "Science and Technology Activities for Homeland Security:  Countering the Radiological/Nuclear Threat".  Extra credit and free pizza.
* Reading for Friday: Numbers in Java
* Homework for next Wednesday: Mad-Libs, Simplified
* From my perspective, today is the day in which the labs get interesting (in that you do realistic tasks)

Overview:
* Quick summary of strings
* Questions and answers
* Lab

Reflection:
* concat can be used with *any* string, even a constant string or a string returned by another procedure.  Hence, all of the following are legal
	"**".concat(something)
	(a.concat(b)).concat(c)
	a.concat(b).concat(c) // shorthand for the previous
	a.concat(b.concat(c))
* If you decide to finish the lab tonight (hint hint), Eryn will be here as a UC from 6-8
