If I have a string of words and want to get a letter from each word (let's say the first), how do I code for anything past two?
For example, if I have North Atlantic Treaty Organization and I want to convert it to NATO I would do something like:
charAt(0) for N
charAt(x + 1) for A
But what do I do for anything past the second string? If I do charAt(x ++ 1) I get an error.
I'm trying to convert the first letter of every word in a String to uppercase. I've managed to isolate the first letter of every word and then make it uppercase but I don't know how to replace it.
public static StringBuffer makeUpperCase(){
String str = String.valueOf(input2);
for(int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++){
if(str.charAt(i) == ' '){
char var = str.charAt(i + 1);
var = Character.toUpperCase(var);
System.out.println(var);
}
}
SO for my project, we have to create a program where we input two four letter words, and using a list of words our teacher provided us and only changing one letter at a time, make the words match.For example, you input BALD and CALL and it would output BALD BALL CALLWe have to use recursion to do this, and I'm totally lost as to where to even begin.
View Replies View RelatedI got a phone number problem. I get a list of phone numbers and a word file containing words, how could I need to see if I could match the phone number to 7 letter words, then see if I can match the first 3 numbers to 3 letter words and then the last 4 numbers to 4 number words. I figured all that out so far. The last part of this assignment is to see if I could match a combination of words together to match the phone numbers.
Example:
531 3259
IGETMILK
Example : I have code and name but my code must start with the first letter of the inputed name if the 2 input is match it will be inserted into database
code = "A"001
name ="Angela"
= success this will inserted into database
else
code ="B"002
name="Angela"
=failed this will not inserted into database
else
code="A"003
name="Andy"
=success still accepts the input cause they have diff code number
What I am thinking on this was compare the code the name? if == it will be inserted but how do i get the 1st letter of the input name?
The code is supposed to output a word from a sentence(from a sample file) with most frequently occurring letter in that word.
Example input: "Therefore, it is this word."
output: therefore
It currently uses 3 loops nested loops, is there a way to improve this?
public static String findWord(String file) throws IOException {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String text, correctWord = null;
text = in.readLine();
StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(text.toLowerCase(), " ,.?"); //split string into tokens of words only

I am having some trouble with this program. The assignment is to write a program, given a seven-digit phone number, uses a PrintStream object to write to a file every possible seven-letter word combination that corresponds to that number. I have to avoid using 0 or 1. Here is my code.

I am getting an error dealing with the main class.
The game runs fine, however I have to include how many times each letter that is guessed occurs within the word. For example, if the guess is e, the program should print out: The character e occurs in 3 positions. How would I go about doing this??

I have built a binary tree, from a file. In each node, I am storing each word as a string, and an int frequency for each time the word occurs. For the assignment, I need to find how many words occur only once in the file. I wrote the program, but for some reason I am getting a number different from what my professor is expecting.
As far as I know, this file has loaded into the tree correctly, because all of my other answers in the assignment are correct. What am I doing wrong?
public void findUnique() {
System.out.println("There are " + findUniqueWords(root, 0) + " unique words.");

I have a project requiring me to build a program having a user input 3 words, sort them alphabetically and output the middle word. I have done some searching and seem to only come back with results for sorting 2 words. I so far have code to get the user input but I am completely lost as to how to sort them alphabetically.
import java.util.Scanner; //The Scanner is in the java.util package.
public class MiddleString {
public static void main(String [] args){
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); //Create a Scanner object.
String str1, str2, str3;
System.out.println("Please enter three word words : "); //Prompt user to enter the three words

we havnt done arrays yet and I THINK i have to do compareTo.....how to use it?
So if I wanted to tell the user that the fifth letter they entered is "____" how would I do that.
I am prompting the user to enter a word and then displaying the length of the String. Now I want to display to the user what the fifth letter of the String they entered is.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class StringPractice
{
public static void main(String [] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String word;

Aeparated by blanks in a string. For simplicity, use strings without punctuation or other white space characters(tabs, newlines etc). Use a JTextArea to allow the user to enter the text and allow the text area to scroll if necessary. when the user clicks a button to count the words , the total number of words counted is displayed in a textbox that cannot be modified by the user.
now my problem is that i am not getting the counted number to display in the un-editable textbox. i also have the problem where the cusrsor is showing in the middle of the input screen instead of at the top.

I have got a pretty good framework working for my hangman game so far, however I am quite stumped on how to find multiple instances of the same letter in a single string. I am using indexOf to find the instance of a character in a string, but it only returns the first instance. So if the words(s) contain(s) multiple instances it doesn't register the rest.
public static void main(String[] args) {
String word = "crazy horse";
String answer="";
String space=" ";

Working on my java skills. The is Delimiter function is suppose to return true if there is a delimiter in the string and false otherwise. The main is suppose to call this function and count the number of words in the string:
Here is what I came up with:
import java.util.*;
public class NumberOfWordsInString {
public static void main (String[] args){
Scanner in= new Scanner (System.in);
String s;
[Code] ....
Somehow my method isn't being successfully called by my main and the following error msg was received:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
length cannot be resolved or is not a field
The method isDelimiter(char) in the type NumberOfWordsInString is not applicable for the arguments (char[])
at javaimprovements.NumberOfWordsInString.main(Number OfWordsInString.java:10)
line 10:
char ch [] = new char [s.length];
and the main doesn't call the isDelimiter function
The program is to accept a string and display all the palindrome words(the words that are same even if they are reversed-------->mom,madam,malayalam etc.)in the string.
I need to solve this program urgently.
There are no syntax errors but after typing in the sentence,no output is displayed. This is my program....
import java.util.*;
class palindrome_test

{
Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a sentence");
String usersInput=in.nextLine();

I am not very comfortable with Strings in Java. The problem I am facing is, taking a string that contains a sentence and reversing the words. Example would be, "Hi I am Bob" and changing it to "Bob am I Hi". Then returning the String.
My initial thoughts were to change the string into a character array and then manually doing the work with loops and tedious comparison statements. I quickly realized that there must be a better way but I am not very familiar with strings in Java to know what a more sufficient way would be.
I have a problem with functions connected to strings.
I have a random String, e.g. "Hello World!" and I have to change every capital Letter into a small letter and vise versa. This alone would be fairly simple, but I have to do it with two other strings.
lowercase= "abcde...z" and
uppercase="ABCDE...Z". Every small letter stands at the very same position as the capital letter, but in the other string.
There should be a letter for letter search in lowercase and uppercase for the letters of "Hello World".
How I could solve the task, however I need a way to search the first string, here "Hello World", according to position. A statement which does: "Give me the letter of position x". This found letter should be able to be stored in a variable or else be able to be used by another statement. And it should be compatible with a for lope.
I'm trying to create a private method called capitalize() which takes String nameModel in any uppercase/lowercase combination and returns it with the first letter uppercased and all other lowercased. E.g. "stePHeN" returns "Stephen" . This is what I've written so far:
private String makePrettyString(String modelName) {
if (modelName ==null) {
return null;
}else if (modelName =="") {
return "";
} else{
return modelName.substring(0,1).toUpperCase() + modelName.substring(1).toLowerCase();
}
}
Unfortunately it doesn't work and it still returning me the String modelName in its original uppercase/lowercase combination.
Basically the requirements are to take a sentence (string of text) and check to see how many times specific words come up and then add to the counter depending on the word.
But I can not seem to get it to add the instances of the goodwords and badwords.
package Strings;
import java.io.*;
public class SentimentAnalyser {
private static String analyse(String text) {
int pw = 0;
int nw = 0;
String[] searchword = { "bad", "terrible", "good", "awesome" };

Write a menu driven program that either accepts words and their meanings, or displays the list of words in lexicographical order (i.e. as in a dictionary). When an entry is to be added to the dictionary you must first enter the word as one string, and then enter the meaning as separate string. Another requirement - from time to time words become obsolete. When this happens, such word must be removed from the dictionary.
Use the JOptionPane class to enter the information.
Use the concept of linked list to carryout this exercise. You will need at minimum the following classes:
- A WordMeaning class that hold the name of a word and its meaning.
- A WordMeaningNode class that creates the node of information and its link field.
- A WordList class that creates and maintain a linked list of words and their meanings.
- A Dictionary class that test your classes.
For the output, the program should produce two scrollable lists:
- The current list of words and their meanings.
- The list of the deleted words. You need not list the meanings, just the words.
So far, I have everything coded except for the remove method, and I am not sure how to code that. I coded the add method already, but now I don't know where to begin with the remove method in my WordList class. My classes are below.
WordMeaning Class:
public class WordMeaning {
String name;
String definition;
WordMeaning(String t, String d) {
name = t;
definition = d;

So the exercise I'm working on says to have the user enter their name and the program will output their name with the last name in all caps. i made it work BUT the only way i could figure it out was to ask for the first and last names separately creating two strings rather than one.
Of course I want to make it work how it's supposed to (with one string) so that I'm learning. I'm just having trouble conceptualizing how exactly (with varying lengths of names) to tell the program to only capitalize the second word... at first I thought create a substring beginning with the first letter of the last name and ending with the last...but again, therein lies the issue of varying name lengths.
is there a way to create a substring that beginIndex's at the first "space"? then i could just leave the endIndex parameter empty and it would take the whole word into a new string. and from there utilize toUpperCase to the new string?
Here's my code asking for the first and last names separately.
import java.util.Scanner;
class nameEcho {
public static void main ( String [] args ) {
Scanner scan = new Scanner( System.in );
String first;
String last;

I'm very new to Java, and I'm writing a code to search a string to see how many times the word "dog" is found in it. I'm not sure if this is error-free or the most efficient, but I'd like to keep it simple.

{
String input = new String("The Dogman was no ordinary dog, nor man, but rather a peculiar dog-like man who barked like a dog, and panted like a dog, he even ate like a dog. He owned a dog named Doglips, and interestingly enough, his favorite food was hotdogs.");
println(input);
int index = -1;
int count = 0;
print("Counting dogs:");

What I need to do is ask the user to input some text and then turn it into pig latin. I am confused on how to select each word from the string to determine if it ends in a way or ay. I am to assume that the letters are all lowercase and the text ends with a period.

I am looking for a way to create a method with the initial state in while loop, which will count the length of each word in a string using I want the output to be something along the lines of:
hello world how are you
There are 0 words of length 0
There are 0 words of length 1
There are 0 words of length 2
There are 3 words of length 3
There are 0 words of length 4
There are 2 words of length 5

are

you
