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();
A bit convoluted, but does what is needed without fuss or muss. Maybe one day the Java strings will
come with the reverse method built in, just like the string data types of all sensible…
String and StringBuffer both represent String objects. Can we compare String and StringBuffer in Java?

That is, one class's object interacts with another class's object. To accomplish this, a method of the class may accept an object of the same class as a parameter.The String class's concat function is an example of this situation. The method is called by one String object and receives another String object as an argument. Here's an illustration:str3 is equal to str1.concat(str2);The method's String object (str1) appends its characters to those of the String supplied as a parameter (str2). As a consequence, a new String object is returned and saved as str3. Create Java code to implement the conditions given.arrow_forward

(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.

- Write in C 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…arrow_forwardPalindromes - “A palindrome” is a string that reads the same from both directions. 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_forward2. Write a method isPalidrome(String arg) that determines if a String is palindrome or not. Palindrome is when a String remains the same after reversing. The method should return boolean type. For example: MADAM is palindrome.arrow_forward
- Language: Java Write a program that reads a sentence from the keyboard. 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_forwardCorrect answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science. You are given a string s, consisting of brackets of two types: '(', ')', '[' and ']'. A string is called a regular bracket sequence (RBS) if it's of one of the following type empty strin '(' + RBS + ')' '[' + RBS + ']' RBS + RBS where plus is a concatenation of two strings In one move you can choose a non-empty subsequence of the string s (not necessarily consecutive) that is an RBS, remove it from the string and concatenate the remaining parts without changing the order What is the maximum number of moves you can perfor Input The first line contains a single integer t (1≤t≤1000) — the number of testcases Each of the next t lines contains a non-empty string, consisting only of characters '(', ')', '[' and ']'. The total length of the strings over all testcases doesn't exceed 2⋅10 Output For each testcase print a single integer — the maximum number of moves you can perform on a given string…arrow_forwardJAVAA7-Write a class with a constructor that accepts a String object as its argument. The class should have a method that returns the number of vowels in the string, and another method that returns the number of consonants in the string.
