Q-12: Write a JAVA program to show working of different methods of String class:
equalsIgnoreCase();   replace();
toUpperCase();   trim();   valueOf();
startsWith();   substring();   toLowerCase();
concat();   contains();   endsWith();   equals();
length();   charAt();   indexOf();   lastIndexOf();
