String Searching Challenge Write a program that takes two arguments at the command line, both strings. The program checks to see whether or not the second string is a substring of the first (without using the substr -- or any other library -- function). One caveat: any * in the second string can match zero or more characters in the first string, so if the input were abcd and the substring were a*c, then it would count as a substring. Also, include functionality to allow an asterisk to be taken literally if preceded by a \, and a \ is taken literally except when preceding an asterisk.

Word Separator Create an application that accepts as input a sentence in which all the words are run together but the first character of each word is uppercase. Convert the sentence to a string in which the words are separated by spaces and only the first word starts with an uppercase letter. For example, the string "StopAndSmellTheRoses." would be converted to "Stop and smell the roses."
Sum of Numbers in a String Create an application that lets the user enter a string containing series of numbers separated by commas. Here is an example of valid input: 7,9,10,2,18,6 The program should calculate and display the sum of all the numbers.
True or False All variables have a ToString method that you can call to convert the variable’s value to a string.
Vowels and Consonants Create an application with a method that accepts a string as an argument and returns the number of vowels that the string contains. The application should have another method that accepts a string as an argument and returns the number of consonants that the string contains. The application should let the user enter a string, and should display the number of vowels and the number of consonants it contains.
Scanner method --------------- reads characters until it encounters a newline character, then returns those characters as a String.
C++ Language
Utilizing an instance of a string object may help you locate the substring.
Alternate Character DisplayWrite a method that accepts a String object as an argument and then returns the alternate characters as substring starting from index 0. For instance, if the string argument passed is “GREAT”, the method should return “GET”. Demonstrate the method in a program that asks the user to input a string and then passes it to the method.
Palindrome Checkercreate a JavaScript program that checks if phrasesentered by the user are palindromes. A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward as forward, such as “SIR”,“raceBIKE”, “Never odd or even”, “20/1/20”. The program should prompt the user to typein a phrase that is at least three characters long, and then tell the user whether the phrasewas a palindrome. Note, the decision should be based solely on letters and numericaldigits, and so it should not consider other characters, such as spaces or exclamationmarks, even though these might be entered by the user. when checking palindromes.A. Select your test data with care. Both palindromes and non-palindromes would be included in this. Provide examples that are text, numeric, and mixed; ignore any additional characters and spaces; andB. Ask the user for the word and then read their input. To verify that their input string has been read correctly, test this by displaying…
