Chapter 9.4, Problem 9.18CP
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 specific 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.

Java code
Tom loves strings very much but he loves palindromic strings even more. Today he found an old rope
in his garage. The string is so old that some of its characters have disappeared and cannot be
identified now. Blurred letters in the character unit are represented by '.' and the other letters are
Latin letters of the word ['a' - 'z'].
The palindrome tom has decided to build a very small palindrome according to the dictionary by
filling in each diminished letter ('.') In Latin with a lowercase letter. Can you help her finish the job
using C++ programming language?

Spilitology
Yosef is a peculiar fellow. He introduced the idea to study a string by splitting it into two, and he called it Splitology. Why split a string? We do not know. Didn’t we say that Yosef is a weird one? Yosef is interested in one particular type of string, a palindrome. A palindrome is a string that is the same for both forwards and backwards. Example of palindrome strings are “ada”, “taat”, and “radar”. On the other hand, string such as “taman” is not a palindrome; notice that “taman” becomes “namat” if read backwardsand it’s not the same as “taman”. As the idea of Splitology is still new, Yosef is investigating whether a string can be split into two non-empty strings such that each string is a palindrome. For example, the string “malamini” can be split into “malam” and “ini” while both of them are palindrome. Another example is “ababab”. It can be split into “aba” and “bab”, and both of them are palindrome. Note that “ababab” can also be split into…

- java Given a String str, find and print the shortest words. The String will have multiple words separated by commas and spaces. If there is words that have the same length, they should all be displayed at the end. Print all the shortest words in the following format: Input: word1, word2, word3, word4, etc...

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_forwardTAKE A LIST OF STRING FROM THE USER AND COUNT THE NUMBER OF UNIQUE ELEMENTS WITHOUT USING THE FOR, WHILE, Do-WHILE LOOPS.

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(); A bit convoluted, but does what is needed without fuss or muss.
