    public static String firstLower(String str) {
        return str.substring(0, 1).toLowerCase().concat(str.substring(1));
    }

    /**
     * same as String.substring, except that this version handles the case
     * robustly when the index is out of bounds.
     */

            return str;
        if (beginIndex >= str.length())
            return "";

        return str.substring(beginIndex);
    }

    /**
     * same as String.substring, except that this version handles the case
     * robustly when one or both of the indexes is out of bounds.
     */

        if (str == null)
            return null;
