Program Plan Intro
“StringBuilder” class:
- The class “StringBuilder” is similar to the class “String” except the way the changes are made to the objects of the “StringBuilder”.
- The contents of the “StringBuilder” object can be changed whereas the contents of the “String” object cannot be changed.
Method “toLowerCase ()”: This method is used to convert the character into lower case equivalent of the letters that is passed as the argument. If the argument that is passed is already in the lower case then the character will not be changed and will be remain the same.

1. A showChar MethodWrite a method named showChar. The method should accept two arguments: a reference toa String object and an integer. The integer argument is a character position within theString, with the first character being at position 0. When the method executes, it shoulddisplay the character at that character position. The method does not return anything.Here is an example of a call to the method:showChar("New York", 2);In this call, the method will display the character w because it is in position 2. Demonstratethe method in a complete program-- use the class name Method_showChar
Java
If you write this method for a class, Java will automatically call it any time you concatenate an object of the class with a string.a. toStringb. plusStringc. stringConvertd. concatString
In the class String, the substring method inserts a String into another String.

Write a program that reads the name of a text file containing a list of photo file names. The program then reads the photo file names from the text file, replaces the "_photo.jpg" portion of the file names with "_info.txt", and outputs the modified file names. Assume the unchanged portion of the photo file names contains only letters and numbers, and the text file stores one photo file name per line.
