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
StringBuilder objects should be used in place of String objects if O is more than 80 characters long. the string may grow. O the string is declared final. O the tring needs to be initialized.
Word Separator Create an application that accepts as input a sentence in which all the words are run together but the first character of each word is uppercase. Convert the sentence to a string in which the words are separated by spaces and only the first word starts with an uppercase letter. For example, the string "StopAndSmellTheRoses." would be converted to "Stop and smell the roses."
