Using String Methods To Count Characters

Nov 4, 2014

I am trying to count the number of non_blank characters in a string. If there are no leading blank spaces it works fine but say i add three spaces in front it doubles the non blank characters.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class countCharacters
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
String str1;
int count;
count = 0;

Using Count Element Method To Count Occurrence Of Characters In Array

Jun 30, 2014

I have an array with the following characters {'E', 'L','E','P','H','A','N','T','P','O'}

now, I need an array that will store the first array such that only the occurence occurs e.g {'E','L','P','H','A','N','T','O'} Notice that the characters 'E' and 'P' occur twice and as a result were not repeated the second time in the new array.

How would one go about this using the counting elements technique?

I tried this but not sure how to use the counting elements technique.

char [] arr = new char{'E', 'L','E','P','H','A','N','T','P','O'};
char[] bucket = new char[(arr[0] * arr.length)];
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
bucket[arr[i]]++;

Using String Methods To Count Words?

Nov 3, 2014

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.

import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class WordCounter extends JFrame implements ActionListener

Count Number Of Characters Contained In Both Strings And Display Results

May 2, 2014

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;

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) {

Ignore Certain Characters In A String

Apr 5, 2014

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.

else if(message.charAt(i) == 'L' && message.charAt(i+1) != 'O' | message.charAt(i+1) == 'Y'){
JLabel localLabel = new JLabel();
localLabel.setIcon(lantern);
panel.add(localLabel);
panel.revalidate();
panel.repaint();

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.

Getting Characters Into Array From A String

Oct 17, 2014

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;

Combining Characters Into A String

Sep 10, 2014

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;

Removing Specific Characters From A String

May 7, 2014

I just need to write a simple program/function that replaces certain letters from a string (i.e. censor( "college", "aeiou" ) returns "cllg"). I'm trying to get the code right first, and then write a function for it.I basically just thought that I would iterate over the first string, and once I had the first character, I would then iterate over the second string, to see if the character exists. I'm getting a "dead code" error on my second loop because I put the second "break."

public class ap {
public static void main(String [] args){
String s = "Hello";
String s2 = "aeiou";

How To Check A String For NON-Alphabetic Characters

Oct 2, 2014

I have to check a String input from the user in the form of firstName lastName (i.e. John Smith). I have to check for an exception called NonAlphabeticCharacterException that gets thrown if there is anything but a number in that string. This is what I have right now but should I create an array of char for the alphabet and then check the whole string for non alphabetic characters?

for(int i=0; i<name.length(); i++) {
if()){
throw new NonAlphabeticCharactersException("Non-alphabetic character found");
}
}

Characters From String In Alphabetic Order Using Quicksort

Oct 1, 2014

I am trying to do a program that takes all of the chars from a string and orders them in alphabetical order. It works fine, but when a is a last letter of a string it isn't being sorted.

Example: bcba = bbca, omnibus = bimnous (here u is in wrong place)

Here is my code:

public class sorty{
public static void sort(char[] a, int low, int high){
int i = low;
int j = high;
if (j - i < 2) return;
int m = (j+i)/2;
char p = a[m];

String Characters Display First Three Multiple Times

Sep 26, 2014

I am trying below challenge to display first three characters three times if the size of the string is greater than 3.

Say if i send hello i should get helhelhel

if i send xyz i should get xyzxyzxyz

I wrote as below

public String front3(String str) {
if(str.length()==3){
return str+str+str;
}
if(str.length()>3){
String str2=new String(new char[]{str.charAt(0),str.charAt(1),str.charAt(2)});
return str2;
}
}

I am getting error as below

Error:public String front3(String str) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This method must return a result of type String

Possible problem: the if-statement structure may theoretically allow a run to reach the end of the method without calling return. Consider adding a last line in the method return some_value; so a value is always returned.

Byte Array To String Gives Strange Characters

It's supposed to print out the values of the bytes. What am I doing wrong?

Change Input String To Array Of Characters

Dec 11, 2014

I am trying to change an input String to an array of characters, but it only stores the word before the space into the array. Here is the code:

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println(" Enter text: " );
String text = scanner.next();
char[] characterArray = text.toCharArray(); // convert string to array of characters
String char = "";
for( i = 0; i < characterArray.length; i++) {
char = char + characterArray[i]
} System.out.println(char);

Just typing hello gives me hello, but when I type hello world it does not type in the word "world".I am trying to change an input String to an array of characters, but it only stores the word before the space into the array.Here is the code:

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println(" Enter text: " );

char[] characterArray = text.toCharArray(); // convert string to array of characters
String char = "";
for( i = 0; i < characterArray.length; i++) {
char = char + characterArray[i]
} System.out.println(char);

Just typing hello gives me hello, but when I type hello world it does not type in the word "world".

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

Unable To Count Each Char In A String

Jun 5, 2014

I am trying to count each char in a string. For example A = 1, B =2, C=3, I am not looking for their binary value. So the word "At" would

AT= (A=1 +T=20)=21.

I know how to do this in C++ because I am able to treat a string like an array.

Java Code: void printFile()
{
int sum=0;
String line;
for(char cr ='A';cr<'Z';cr++)
{
for(int i=0; i<myList.size();i++)

String Manipulation - Extract Substrings Consisting Of First N-4 And Last Three Characters

Feb 18, 2014

I do have a quick question about string manipulation. You see I've been given a simple exercise that involves asking the user to input a number between 1,000 and 999,999 and displaying the result. Simple enough, but the caveat is that if the user keys in the comma, say 24,000 instead of 24000 for example, the program is not to display the comma. I don't see how to do this without an 'if' statement. The book says the 'if' is not necessary but does offer this hint: "Read the input as a string. Measure the length of the string. Suppose it contains n characters. Then extract the substrings consisting of the first n-4 characters and the last three characters."

What good is n-4 going to do if the string's lengths varies?

Here's what I have written thus far:

import java.util.Scanner;
 public class P13
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Please enter a number between 1,000 and 999,999: ");

[Code] .....
