Change value of string within an array?

I think you mean:

split[1] = "a" + split[1].substring(1);
System.out.println(split[1]);

Strings are immutable which means they cant be changed. The only
thing you can do is create new Strings.

hello <- you cant make the 'h' an 'a'
a + ello <- but you can create a new string from 'a' and the rest of 'hello'

you fascinate me, i still think that you're my teacher, although i feel like an idiot for not "actively" listening in class the day she said that. Thanks

well i have been in the market for a protege.
quick question, would you object to killing every person in a jedi temple?

You would also have to adopt some unnecessary verbal affectations, like referring to children as "younglings".

jedis? not sure lol, you convince me now. You arent, but you're good

quick question: split[2] = "a" + split[2].substring(5); that overirdes the rest of the string contents before 5th letter,why and how can i fix that

why: it's doing what it's supposed to be doing. Please look at the api.

how to fix: all depends on what you are trying to do.

I want this to happen:

Hello becomes Hella

String hello = "hello"
String hella = hello.substring(0, hella.length()) + "a"

String hello = "hello"
String hella = hello.substring(0, hella.length()) + "a"

possibly:
String hella = hello.substring(0, hella.length() - 1) + "a"
