String Searching For A Word

Mar 25, 2015

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.

public void run()
{
 
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:");
inputarray = input.split(" ");

Binary Tree - Storing Each Word As String And Int Frequency For Each Time Word Occurs

Apr 27, 2015

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.");
}
private int findUniqueWords(Node subTree, int uniqueCount) {
// Base Case: At the end of the branch
if(subTree == null){
return uniqueCount;

Capitalize Second Word Of A String

Feb 16, 2014

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;

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.

Count Length Of Each Word In A String

Aug 5, 2014

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

This is my code so far it sort of does the job but not the way i want it too

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class Brown_Matthew_13117002{
public static int count(String s, int len){
int result=0;
StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(s,"[ ,;]");

[Code] ....

The output would end up being :

hello
There are 0 words of length 0
world
There are 0 words of length 1
how
There are 0 words of length 2
are
There are 3 words of length 3
you
There are 0 words of length 4

I think I need to use string.split instead of stringtokenizer and the while loop is incorrect it needs to loop equal to the number of letters in the longest word. But how to do either of these ?

String Of Words - Getting First Letter From Each Word?

Mar 26, 2014

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.

String Method That Creates A Word Out Of Given Letters?

Jan 25, 2015

I want to make a method that takes a word and then checks if the word can be created from available letters. For example, if a word "johnson" can be created by using letters "jashoqwnon".

Now my goal is to make sure that if available letters contain a letter from the word, that letter is put into a String called result and then erased from the list of given letters. So, "johnson" and "jashoqwn" would produce the result "johns" and leave "aqw" unused.

Now the problem that I am facing is that I can't get Java not to use the same letter twice. So "johnson" and "jashoqwn" still gives "johnson".

I've tried everything in my power but I am missing something. Here is my code.

public static String makeAWord(String word, String letters){
String result = "";
for(int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++){
for(int j = 0; j < letters.length() ; j++){

var = Character.toUpperCase(var);
System.out.println(var);

Extracting Numbers In Word Format From A String Of Text

Aug 7, 2014

I am trying to do is extract numbers that are in word format in a long String, i.e. a song, and return each of their numerical values, in order to add them all up. So I'd like to calculate the sum of all of the numbers in the text. This has to work for any piece of text and for all numbers up to a trillion.

So I broke the string down into tokens and stored them in a String []. And I divided up the possible numbers in word format into:

LARGEST: thousand, million, billion, trillion
HUNDRED: hundred
TENS: twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety
UNITS: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
SPECIALS: ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen

I believe that these are the only words that it will need to recognize. I began reading the tokenized string from right to left and then when I came across a unit, special or tens as the first number I hit, I would then set it's numerical value and check if the word before was also a number and whether to add or multiply etc. i.e. First number hit is a two, if the number before is sixty, then I would just add it to sixty and check the word before that and so on.

However, when implementing it, it seems like an extremely long way around it. How I could implement this in a swifter manner? An example of it working would be:

"Nine Million rockets turned Three times and met Twenty Two Aliens", it would extract, Twenty Two as 2, then 20 = 22, then extract Three as 3, and then Nine Million as 1,000,000 x 9 = 9,000,000

9,000,000 + 22 + 3 = 9,000,025

Converting String To Title Case But Ignoring Specific Word

Feb 23, 2014

I need to turn some strings from:

'1-the-high-street'
to:
'1 The High Street'

But...

if string is
'the-dog-and-duck'

I want to achieve
'The Dog and Duck'
...whereby the 'and' is NOT converted to title case

My code as follows:

String propertyPageTitle = "1-the-high-street";
propertyPageTitle = propertyPageTitle.replace("-", " ");
propertyPageTitle = WordUtils.capitalizeFully(propertyPageTitle);
System.out.println(propertyPageTitle);

prints: '1 The High Street'

How could I handle the second scenario so it does not convert 'and' to titlecase?

I'm having an issue, I have a scanner (Scan.nextLine();) that scans the console for input to fetch the string "word". Then I want to fetch a character using Scan.findInLine(word).charAt(number);. The problem is that the console requires me to write 2 lines in order for the program to move on. I only want the program to scan for a word, and then move on with what it has instead of requiring 2 inputs.

AutoCorrect / Replace A Word That Is Similar To A Word In File Text

Mar 13, 2015

The intentions of this program is to prompt a user to enter a file name, and then reads the file. The program will prompt the user to enter a word that needs to be corrected. So lets say I have a text file containing "My name is OP and I Like goind to the Park!" I want to change "goind" to "going",

Now, my second method "isSimilar" executes a similar word with more than one same letter and same length, but I dont know how to execute that whole thing in my third method "correctThisLine" . How I can call that isSimilar method and read in that text file and change that word into that?

import java.util.*;
