java判断一个字符是否为a,判断字符串是否包含a-z字符

I very new to programming. I want to check if a string s contains a-z characters. I use:

if(s.contains("a") || s.contains("b") || ... {

}

but is there any way for this to be done in shorter code? Thanks a lot

You can use regular expressions

// to emulate contains, [a-z] will fail on more than one character,

// so you must add .* on both sides.

if (s.matches(".*[a-z].*")) {

// Do something

}

this will check if the string contains at least one character a-z

to check if all characters are a-z use:

if ( ! s.matches(".*[^a-z].*") ) {

// Do something

}
