What is the name of the operation for string objects?
public static String pancakeScramble(String text) This nifty little problem is taken from the excellent Wolfram Challenges problem site where you can also see examples of what the result should be for various arguments. Given a text string, construct a new string by reversing its first two characters, then reversing the first three characters of that, and so on, until the last round where you reverse your entire current string
What happens if you try to retrieve a character in a string with an incorrect index?

A phrase is a palindrome if, after converting all uppercase letters into lowercase letters and removing all non-alphanumeric characters, it reads the same forward and backward. Alphanumeric characters include letters and numbers. Given a string s, return true if it is a palindrome, or false otherwise. Example 1: Input: s = "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" Output: true Explanation: "amanaplanacanalpanama" is a palindrome. Example 2: Input: s = "race a car" Output: false Explanation: "raceacar" is not a palindrome..arrow_forwardWhat happens if you try to multiply a string by a string, "a" * "b"?arrow_forward
- (Intro to Java) Pls answer asap Write Answers Neatly Thanksarrow_forwardIn C++ with comments please Modify the program 12-7 from page 826 as follows: 1. Add a third C-string as name3[NAME_LENGHT]. 2. Add a pair of cout/cin.getline() for the third string similar to the ones for first and second strings. 3. Add the appropriate case to the "if/else if" structure such that the three strings will be displayed in alphabetical order. Hint: There are 6 possible cases (3!, 3 factorial = 3*2*1 = 6) for all complete permutations. The easiest check is to input the three strings as single letters like: "a", "b", and "c". You "if/else if" should cover 6 cases for the these possible input order: abc, acb, bac, bca, cab, cba. Regardless of the input order the output should be always abc. First "if" condition check is like: if ( strcmp(name1,name2) < 0 && strcmp(name2,name3) < 0 ) cout << name1 << " " << name2 << " " << name3 << endl; You have to complete the rest of the 5 "else if" condition. The last "else" can be used to…arrow_forwardIn C++ language.arrow_forward
