Compare 2 Strings - Generate New String With Matching Characters
Jul 3, 2014
I'm attempting a small program as I'm teaching myself the ropes. In it, I need to compare one string (the base) to another which is just the base string that's had it's characters shuffled.
Java Code:
String base = "ABCDEFG"
String shuffled = "CDAFBEG" mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
What I need to do is run a loop that shuffles the base string each time, but compares and saves any characters that match in the correct location. For example, if shuffled = "CDAFBEG", then the G would be "locked" in place and the rest of the characters shuffled and looped back to the comparison.
I have all the code I need for shuffling the string, but I'm not sure how I would go about comparing each character and then also locking it in place. I get the basics, I think, of needed to use several variables.
I have a JTable which shows pdf files. In Addition I can check if they have errors, if it so I can generate a "report" by clicking the pdf. But the report gives me errors from all of the pdfs in the table. How can I match the error messages to the pdf which I select?
Here is one of the checking methods:
public static void testAllPagesHaveSameRotation(PDFDocument pdf) throws PDFDocumentException { if (SettingsGui.testAllPagesHaveSameRotation.isSelected()) { if (pdf.getPages() == 0) { rotationError = ""; } else { rotationError = "";
I am trying to take a password then generate two characters to keep in the password dataset. So far I have this going but keep having minor issues. For one how come it won't allow me to use List.length?
/*Code/*
import java.util.Scanner; public class Project{ public static void main(String[] args){ System.out.println("Enter the password:"); }
Its supposed to notify the user if they have a palindrome, but keeps returning true even when I type, "hello".
import java.util.Scanner; public class PalinDrome { public static void main(String[] args) { String line; Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Please enter a word ");
Is there a different logic in Java for if statements when it comes to conditions? I mean my attempt to compare a String variable and a String attribute of a class that is on an array of objects was frustrated someway. It will not enter the if block. The two strings are equal. I displayed the values of each strings before the if evaluation and they are equal. The simbol I used was the ==, and I also tried the string.equals(string variable) as well as the compareTo() == 0 option but none of those worked. I wish I knew what it is the way to compare two strings.
String a = "***************"; for(int i = 0; i++; i<10){
System.out.println(a); a = a - "*"; }
I searched about this online and read strings are unmutable in java but what does that exactly mean ? If the string cannot be changed how i am able to add the characters but not remove them.
How would I create a equals method to compare strings in a class that I'm creating. I need to create the method in my class, and then call it in a driver. How would I do this?
I have been working on this for hours and cannot get it to work properly. The program is to count the number of characters contained in both strings and display the results. It is also to display the final statement, but only once. This version has a complete statement for each matching character.
import java.util.Scanner; public class CountMatches { public static void main(String[] args) { String firstStr = (""); String s1 = firstStr;
I am currently trying to make a calculator in Java. I want to use the String split method to tokenize the string of characters inputted. I thought I was using the String split method wrongly, because I had surrounded the characters I wanted to delimit with square brackets. However, when I removed the square brackets, the code threw an exception when I pressed the equal button. The exception was a PatternSyntaxException exception. Am I using the String split method wrongly? And why is the exception thrown? Here is my code:
import javax.swing.*;//import the packages needed for gui import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.List; import static java.lang.Math.*; public class CalculatorCopy { public static void main(String[] args) {
I have a method for a button so when a user inputs something it then will get the string value and check it against the string value within the properties file to see if it exists.
The properties file is called GitCommands.properties that contains -- > key = value <-- in it
I realised I have not used it correctly hence why I keep getting errors - I am lost on how to use it, I think perhaps that may be the issue here? I need to reference the file but I am doing it wrong? When I do use that piece of code I get null pointer exception too...
JButton btnSearch = new JButton("Search"); btnSearch.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { FindSelectedKey();
[code] .....
I understand I am missing my piece of code where it states "//determine whether the string is equal to the property file key string" I understand the logic fine but not actually coding it.
I'm having trouble to compare two string from my LinkedList. I took me 2 days now trying figure out how to compare the current string to previous string in the linkedlist. Here is my code.
public int compareTo(LinkedListNode n){ //Compare two string String myHead = data.toLowerCase(); String comparableHead = data.toLowerCase();
How do I compare a String to each element of a string array?
For example:
int headscount = 0; if (coins[i].equals("heads")){ headscount++; System.out.println("b" + headscount); }
This doesn't give me the right value because the IDE says that equals() is an incompatible type. I also tried changing the "heads" to an variable, but the results remains the same.
I want to make a program in which i write the Months Strings via while into the checkbox.
I already did that but i have also to add an day if February is a loop day.
So my question is how to say java that if Months is equal to February & year is a leap year, add 1. (i didn't wrote the year code because it's not relevant for my problem.)
Java Code:
public String[] Months ={"January","February","March","April","May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "Oktober", "November", "December"}; public Asg1KeapYear() { initComponents(); int MonthNo = 0;
[Code] ....
Netbeans shows me .equals() on incompatible types on Months.equals, do i have to declare it somehow?
I'm trying to loop through a string and depending on the character, add a JLabel to a game. The problem is the character 'L' represents a lantern but is also used in the reply the game gives which is "LOOKREPLY". I've tried to use some code to ignore the LOOKREPLY bit but it's not working. Here's what I've tried.
But the first image on all of the JLabels is always a lantern, which is what L represents. As it's only 1 lantern this leads me to believe that it's ignoring the first 'L' but for some reason it's not ignoring the 'L' at the end of LOOKREPLY.
As of right now my code can take characters from a string to an array from a string like "ABCD" but the project says I have to take it from a string like "A B C D" how can I correct my code to grab the characters from a single spaced line?
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter Order of Cars:"); String carsInput = sc.next(); int x = carsInput.length(); int[] cars = new int[x]; for (int i=0; i < cars.length; i++) { cars[i] = carsInput.charAt(i)-64; }
So what my program is supposed to do is take a number inputted by the use and then take a phrase. It then changes that phrases letter by the number inputted prior for example if you type in 2 as your int and Hello as your phrase you should get JGNNQ, which i can do. but the problem is that when i run it, it outputs like this:
J G N N Q
As separate characters how can I combine those characters in 1 string so it looks like JGNNQ? this is my code
import java.util.Scanner; public class Dcod_MAin { private static final Object[] String = null; public static void main(String[] args){ Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in); System.out.println("What is the day of the month"); int shift;
I am having issues with the program below everything works but I can't figure out a way to add code that if a user just hits enter without inputting anything it says "entering in nothing is not a valid choice" I am stuck on how to compare a int to a string ...
//import statements import java.util.*; //for scanner class // class beginning public class Guess { public static void main(String[] args ) { //Declare variables area
What I'm trying to do is compare String input to a char array. Let me make it a little more plain, I'm working on a cipher assignment, and my line of thought is this: I will get String input from the user, COMPARE the characters in the string input to an alphabet array, which will then be compared to the cipher array so that the cipher's counterpart can be chosen over the alphabet's. Any way that I might compare the random input keyed in by the user to that alphabet array?
I'm trying to implement a Binary Search Tree that accepts strings. I cannot figure out how to compare the string value in my add method against the node object. While I could make the node class data be the string type I am trying to make the code be as reusable as possible. So my question is this, is there a simple way I can compare the two that I am missing?
public class BTNode<E> { private E data; private BTNode<E> left, right; //constructor public BTNode(E initialData, BTNode<E> initialLeft, BTNode<E> initialRight) { data = initialData; left = initialLeft; right = initialRight;
I need to make a string filled with naughts and crosses like this one : "xxx ooo xox". There are 3 groups separated with a space. how to fill the string randomly ?
