Chapter 8.4, Problem 8.17CP
Program Plan Intro
String class:
- The “String” class provides a number of methods that examines for a string inside of a string.
- The term “substring” refers to a string that denotes another string’s part.
- The “startsWith” method would determine whether calling string of object begins with a particular substring.
- The method returns “true” if string begins with specified substring, it returns “false” otherwise.
- The “endsWith” method would determine whether calling string would end with a specified substring.
- The method returns “true” if string ends with specified substring, it returns “false” otherwise.
- The “regionMatches” method would determine whether specified regions for two strings match.
- The first argument of this method can be “true” or “false” that indicates whether a case-insensitive comparison could be performed.
StringBuilder class:
- The “StringBuilder” class is same as “String” class except that contents of “StringBuilder” objects could be changed.
- It provides several methods that “String” class does not have.
- The “append” method accepts an argument that might be a primitive data type.
- It appends a string representation to contents of calling object.
- The “insert” method accepts two arguments, an integer that specifies position in string of calling object as well as value to be inserted.
- The “replace” method replaces the occurrences of one character with another character.
- The “toString” method converts a “StringBuilder” object in to a regular string.

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.This problem is an exercise in Java string manipulation. For some mysterious reason, the Java String type does not come with a reverse method. The canonical way to reverse a Java string str is to first convert it to mutable StringBuilder, reverse its contents, and convert the result back to an immutable string, that is,str = new StringBuilder(str).reverse().toString();
Here's the tester it must pass:
@Test public void testPancakeScramble() throws IOException {// Explicit test casesassertEquals("", P2J3.pancakeScramble(""));assertEquals("alu",…

If you can’t, here are the rules: If a word begins with a consonant, take all of the letters before the first vowel and move them to the end of the word, then add ay to the end of the word. Examples: pig → igpay, there → erethay. If a word begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u, or y), simply add yay to the end of the word. For this problem, y is always a vowel. Examples: and → andyay, ordinary → ordinaryyay. Although there are many variants of Pig Latin (such as Kedelkloppersprook in Germany), for this problem we will always use the rules described above.

- Language: Java Write a program that reads a sentence from the keyboard. Depending on the last character of the sentence, print the message identifying the sentence as declarative (ends with a period), interrogative (ends with a question mark), exclamatory (end with an exclamation point), or other. Hint: you can use charAt() method from the String class to extract the last character of the input line. The character of a String str is at str.length()-1 position. For taking a sentence as input use the nextLine() method from the Scanner class. You have to use if/else if selection. Sample input and output: Sample 1 Input: How are you? Output: Interrogative Sample 2 Input: I am good. Output: Declarative Sample 3 Input: That is amazing!

- Correct answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science. You are given a string s, consisting of brackets of two types: '(', ')', '[' and ']'. A string is called a regular bracket sequence (RBS) if it's of one of the following type empty strin '(' + RBS + ')' '[' + RBS + ']' RBS + RBS where plus is a concatenation of two strings In one move you can choose a non-empty subsequence of the string s (not necessarily consecutive) that is an RBS, remove it from the string and concatenate the remaining parts without changing the order What is the maximum number of moves you can perfor Input The first line contains a single integer t (1≤t≤1000) — the number of testcases Each of the next t lines contains a non-empty string, consisting only of characters '(', ')', '[' and ']'.
