Chapter 9.4, Problem 9.17CP
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:

DescriptionA researcher is analyzing DNA. A DNA can be represented as a string composed of the characters A, G, C, or T.One day, researchers found a strange DNA, which is Smooth Repeated DNA. The DNA is represented by a string that has infinite length. The string has a repeating pattern, i.e. the DNA string 0 is repeated an infinite number of times. For example, if0 = "????", then = "???????????? . . . ".According to researchers, a DNA is said to be special if it contains substrings . Determine whetheris a substring of .

- Ancay youyay eakspay igpay atinlay? (Can you speak pig latin?) 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. A friend of yours was frustrated with everyone writing in Pig Latin and has asked you to write a program to translate to Pig Latin for him. Ouldway youyay ebay osay indkay otay oday ityay?

For example: the word "mom" is a palindrome. Also, the string "Murder for a jar of red rum" is a palindrome. - So, you need to implement a Boolean function that takes as input a string and its return is true (1) in case the string is a palindrome and false (0) otherwise. - There are many ways to detect if a phrase is a palindrome. The method that you will implement in this task is by using two stacks. This works as follows. Push the left half of the characters to one stack (from left to right) and push the second half of the characters (from right to left) to another stack. Pop from both stacks and return false if at any time the two popped characters are different. Otherwise, you return true after comparing all the elements. Phrases of odd length have to be treated by skipping the middle element like the word "mom", your halves are "m" and "m". - Hint: (without using STL)arrow_forward

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! Output: Exclamatory Sample 4 Input: Although, Output: Other Answer:arrow_forward
