起始比较和末尾比较都是比较经常用得到的方法，例如在判断一个字符串是不是http协议的，
或者初步判断一个文件是不是mp3文件，都可以采用这个方法进行比较。
(31) public native String intern();
intern方法是Native调用，它的作用是在方法区中的常量池里通过equals方法寻找等值的对象，
如果没有找到则在常量池中开辟一片空间存放字符串并返回该对应String的引用，
否则直接返回常量池中已存在String对象的引用

对于字符串 "boo:and:foo",regex为o,limit为5时，
splite方法首先去字符串里查找regex——o，然后把o做为分隔符，
逐个把o去掉并且把字符串分开，比如，发现b后面有一个o，于是把这个o去掉，
并且把字符串拆成"b", "o:and:foo"两个字符串（注意：b后面的两个o已经去掉了一个），
接下来看"o:and:foo"这个字符串，第一个字符就是o，
于是o前面相当于一个空串，把这个o去掉，"o:and:foo"被分开成"", ":and:foo"这样两个字符串，
以此类推循环5次就是splite("o", 5)方法的作用

将已给的数组用给定的字符进行分开，返回一个特定的字符串，例如
String [] strings = {"a","b","c","d"};
info = String.join( "a",strings );
System.out.println( info );
打印的结果为 aabacad
