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.

How does the StringBuilder class’s replace method differ from the String class’s replace method?
True or False: The String class’s replace method can replace individual characters, but cannot replace substrings.
State true or false:
A regular expression enables a quick test to determine objects and text strings with undependable values.

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.

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: @Test public void testPancakeScramble() throws IOException {// Explicit test casesassertEquals("", P2J3.pancakeScramble(""));assertEquals("alu",…arrow_forward
- Alternate Character DisplayWrite a method that accepts a String object as an argument and then returns the alternate characters as substring starting from index 0.
