Hi Professor Snape, I am enjoying the videos so far. Some of what you are teaching I already know because I am a Computer Science major, and a lot I dont know. I am working on a project for school, and it requires me to parse a line to look for information, and then use that information. Is there a method to search a string for x amount of characters, and then do something with a word located at a certain position in that string?

Hi Prof Snape,

For the String.Join method, what is the 0, 4 when you wrote

String.Join("|", 0, 4)?

Working with Strings

Strings are immutable. Once they are created, if they are modified, the previous version is thrown away, and a new version is created.
To join strings, use +
String.Compare() is used to compare strings
.Insert and .Remove, .ToUpper and .ToLower, and .Split and .Join are just a few of the ways to deal with strings
A few more helpful, self-explanatory, functions:

.StartsWith and .EndsWith
.SubString
.PadLeft and .PadRight
.IndexOf and .IndexOfAny
.LastIndexOf and .LastIndexOfAny

Use the StringBuilder class if your strings will be modified multiple times
Using StringBuilder reduces memory usage
Some StringBuilder functions:

.Append
.Insert
.Remove
.Replace
