The string split() method splits the given string around matches of the given regular expression.

1. public String [ ] split ( String regex, int limit )

Example 1:

// Java program to demonstrate working of split(regex,
// limit) with small limit.
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String str = "geekss@for@geekss";
        String[] arrOfStr = str.split("@", 2);
        for (String a : arrOfStr)
            System.out.println(a);
    }
}

output:

geekss
for@geekss

Example 2:

// Java program to demonstrate working of split(regex,
// limit) with high limit.
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String str = "geekss@for@geekss";
        String[] arrOfStr = str.split("@", 5);
        for (String a : arrOfStr)
            System.out.println(a);
    }
}

output:

geekss
for
geekss

Example 3:

// Java program to demonstrate working of split(regex,
// limit) with negative limit.
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String str = "geekss@for@geekss";
        String[] arrOfStr = str.split("@", -2);
        for (String a : arrOfStr)
            System.out.println(a);
    }
}

output:

geekss
for
geekss

Example 4:

// Java program to demonstrate working of split(regex,
// limit) with high limit.
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String str = "geekss@for@geekss";
        String[] arrOfStr = str.split("s", 5);
        for (String a : arrOfStr)
            System.out.println(a);
    }
}

output:

geek
@for@geek

Example 5:

// Java program to demonstrate working of split(regex,
// limit) with negative limit.
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String str = "geekss@for@geekss";
        String[] arrOfStr = str.split("s", -2);
        for (String a : arrOfStr)
            System.out.println(a);
    }
}

output:

geek
@for@geek

Example 6:

// Java program to demonstrate working of split(regex,
// limit) with 0 limit.
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String str = "geekss@for@geekss";
        String[] arrOfStr = str.split("s", 0);
        for (String a : arrOfStr)
            System.out.println(a);
    }
}

output:

Geek
@for@geek
