Chapter 9.4, Problem 9.19CP
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.
Given code:
String city = “Asheville”;
Explanation:
The given code stores a string value to a variable that denotes a “String” object.

Name format: You must use String object and not StringBuffer or StringBuilder.
Many documents use a specific format for a person's name. Write a program that take one
Line as an input.
Example:
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println(“Enter firstName middleName lastName separated by at least one
blank, It may have more than one blank separating firstName middleName lastName.");
Input sample : Pat Silly Doe || Note these are separated by at least one blank.
String line = input.nextLine()
Ex: If the input is:
Pat Silly Doe
the output is:
Doe, P.S.
If the input has the form:
firstName lastName
the output is:
lastName, firstInitial.
Ex: If the input is:
Julia Clark
the output is:
Clark, J.
Please submit the .java source file and the sample run in a text file. Thanks
