How To Compare String To Each Element Of String Array

Mar 28, 2014

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 would prefer using an Array!

I have the following code:

Java Code:

public class Equals {
String[] s1 = {"red", "white", "black", "blue"};

How To Compare String Input To Char Array

Feb 8, 2014

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?

How To Compare Integer To A String Variable Array

Apr 17, 2014

I'm trying to do something like this:

Java Code:

for (int i=1; i<2; i++);
int randomNum = rn.nextInt(range) + 1;
if (randomNum == CardList.CARD_NAME[randomNum]){
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

But the CARD_NAME variable is a string. I just want to compare the array to the integer.

Java Method - Return True If String Can Be Found As Element Of Array And False Otherwise

Mar 17, 2014

I am new to Java and would like to ask how to do this question specifically:

Code a Java method that accepts a String array and a String. The method should return true if the string can be found as an element of the array and false otherwise. Test your method by calling it from the main method which supplies its two parameters (no user input required). Use an array initialiser list to initialise the array you pass. Test thoroughly.

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Compare Inputted String With Key String

Aug 28, 2014

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...

textFieldSearch.getText().equals(GitCommands.keys());

This is my button:

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.

Compare Substring With String?

Apr 22, 2014

Why isn't it working?

Java Code:

if ((line.substring(i,i+2)) == "go")
break; mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

I printed this to check if substring works fine, used this:

Java Code: System.out.println(line.substring(i,i+2) + " : "+ length); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

So, output:

Er : 1

ra : 2

ag : 3

go : 4

on : 5

n' : 6

'> : 7

Line:

String line = "Eragon'>";

Shouldn't it break loop after printing "go : 4"?

line.substring(i,i+2) prints go here. But if doesn't work.

How To Compare Public String Value

Sep 7, 2014

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?

How To Compare String In Binary Search Tree

Aug 31, 2014

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;

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.

How To Compare Int To A Empty String To Input Error Message To User

Apr 16, 2015

I made a guess a number program but I am having issue figuring out a way that when a user enter's in nothing for the program to spit out a message saying "hey entering nothing doesn't work try again" then ask for input. I have done some research and from what I have found is to read the input in as a String rather than int, and use something like Integer.valueOf() to get the integer value but I am completely lost on how to apply that to my program here is my code

//import statements
import java.util.*; //for scanner class
// class beginning
public class Guess {
public static void main(String[] args ) {
//Declare variables area
int guess, secretNumber = (int) (Math.random() * 10 + 1), lowGuess,highGuess;

String Split Method To String Array

Sep 21, 2014

So I'm creating a class which when given three inputs uses them as sides of a triangle and tells ther user what type of triangle it is, or if the input is invalid, tells them why it is invalid. I'm readin the input as a string and then trying to split it into a string array, from there checking to see if it has 3 elements.. in which the data is good at that point, and then converting them to ints and checking to see if they're negative ansd finally checking to see if they can work as sides of a triangle ie a+b >c, a+c >b , b+c >a.

I'm trying to split it into an array of strings but am getting an error, and can't seem to figure out why as this should be working from what I've read of the string.split method online.

import java.util.*;
public class TriangleTest{
private int sideA;
private int sideB;
private int sideC;
public static void main(String[] args){
TriangleTest triangle = new TriangleTest("3 4 5");

[Code] ....

The output reads [Ljava.lang.String;@15db9742

How To Get 1st Letter Of Input (String) And Compare It To Single Letter Before Insert To DB

Cannot Assign Cloned String Array To Generic Type Array

Jun 21, 2014

I have the following code in which I am looping through the rows of one array (composed of Strings) and copying it to another array. I am using .clone() to achieve this and it seems work as it changes the memory location of the rows themselves. I did notice that the String objects are still pointing to the same location in memory in both arrays but I won't worry about that for now, at the moment I just want to understand why the array I am cloning is not successfully assigning to the other array.

This is the incorrect line: ar[r] = maze[r].clone();

My code:

private String[][] maze = {{"*","*","*"," ","*","*","*","*","*","*"},
{"*"," ", "*"," "," "," ","*"," ","*","*"},
{"*"," ","*","*","*"," ","*"," ","*","*"},
{"*"," "," "," "," "," "," "," "," ","*"},
{"*","*","*","*","*"," ","*","*","*","*"},
{"*","*","*","*","*"," ","*","*","*","*"}};
//private String[][] mazeCopy = copyMaze(new String[6][10]);
private <T> T[][] copyMaze(T[][] ar){
for (int r = 0; r < ar.length; r++){
ar[r] = maze[r].clone();
}
return ar;
}

My compiler says: Required: T[]. Found: java.lang.String[]

Since ar[r] is an array and .clone() also returns an array why is this line incorrect.

Method Creation - Take A String With Duplicate Letters And Return Same String Without Duplicates

Nov 7, 2014

How can I write a method that takes a string with duplicates letters and returns the same string which does not contain duplicates. For example, if you pass it radar, it will return rad. Also i would like to know how can I Write a method that takes as parameters the secret word and the good guesses and returns a string that is the secretword but has dashes in the places where the player has not yet guessed that letter. For example, if the secret word is radar and the player has already guessed the good guesses letters r and d, the method will return r-d-r.

Convert String Array To Char Array

Apr 12, 2015

I have an array of Strings, one on each line and I need to convert them into an array of char's.

For Example:

This
is
an
Example
of
what
my
input
is.

In order to accomplish that I did the following-

String[] lotsOfText = a.gettingAnArrayAsAReturn();
char [][] myCharArray = new char [lotsOfText.length] [lotsOfText.length];
for(int i=0; i<lotsOfText.length; i++){
for(int j=0;j<lotsOfText[i].length();j++){
myCharArray[i][j] = lotsOfText[j].charAt(j); }}

But whenever I try this and then try to print the output :

for (int i = 0; i < lotsOfText.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < lotsOfText[i].length(); j++) {
System.out.print(myCharArray[i][j]);
}
}

I get nothing. I'm not sure what's the flaw in my logic, is it the char array initialization that's wrong or is it something else ?

String Split Method To Tokenize String Of Characters Inputted?

Sep 27, 2014

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) {

Take Replacement String Entered By User And Print Out New String

May 22, 2014

I'm having trouble with the last few lines of the code. It's supposed to take a replacement string entered by the user and print out the new string. For some reason it's now allowing me to enter a replacement string

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Project02 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a long string: ");
String lString = keyboard.nextLine();

[Code] ....

Output:

Enter a long string: the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
Enter a substring: jumped
Length of your string: 44
Length of your substring: 6
Starting position of your substring in string: 20
String before your substring: the quick brown fox
String after your substring: over the lazy dog
Enter a position between 0 and 43: 18
The character at position 18 is x

Enter a replacement string: Your new string is: the quick brown fox over the lazy dog <------ isn't taking user input
