Count And Display Number Of Times Specified Character Appears In String
Mar 7, 2014
Write a program using a while-loop (and a for-loop) that asks the user to enter a string, and then asks the user to enter a character. The program should count and display the number of times that the specified character appears in the string. (So, you will have two separate program codes, one using a while-loop and the other one using a for-loop.)
Example:
Enter a string: "Hello, JAVA is my favorite programming language."
Enter a character: e
The number of times the specified character appears in the string: 3
I don't even know where to begin I've only got this
import java.util.Scanner;
public class letterCounter {
public static void main(String [] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a string");
String myString = sc.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter a letter");
String letter = sc.nextLine();
}
}

This is my code up to now and I can't do anything to make it work. I want it to tell me how many times the number 3 appears, and the last position it was in. I am getting errors like"Cuanto.java:88: getPosition(double[],double) in Cuanto cannot be applied to (double) ....
a = getPosition(a);" and unreachable statements, and value not found. It's all over the place every time I make a change to it.
Java Code:
public class Cuanto {
static int getPosition(int count,double listOfValues[],
double targetValue) {
int a = 0, i;
for (i=0; i < listOfValues.length; i++) {
if (listOfValues[i] == targetValue) {
a++;
[Code] ....

I'm trying to write a method that will print a string of a random number of X's (from 5 to 20) on a line, then another number of X's on the next line, etc. until the random number = 16.
I have to use while loops and probably fencepost algorithms. I'm confused with how to print the number of x's the random number of times over and over.
Right now, I'm pretty sure my for loop is wrong or unnecessary.
So far, this is my code:
public static void randomX() {
int x = 0;
while (x != 16) {
x = (int)(Math.random()*20) + 5;
for (int i = 0; i <= x; i++);
{
System.out.print("x");
}
}
}

I have problems getting the right number of times for each number of the array. Here is my code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] a = { 3, 13, 5, 9, 13, 6, 9, 13, 2, 3 };
int num = 3;
int count = numbers(a, num);
for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {

I am trying to flip a coin 1000 times and make the driver class count the number of times a head and tails appear. However, I am having some trouble trying to figure out the error:
package Week5;
import java.util.Random;
public class Coin {
private int heads;
private int tails;
private int face;
[Code] ....
I was able to print out the generated numbers, but java will print either heads or tails a thousand times and count that as 1000 and nil for the other probability...

I have this code but I can't seem to get it to work. It keeps saying that "count" cat be found and that it cannot return a value whose type is void.
Java Code: public class Cuantos {
static int getPosition(double listOfValues[], double targetValue ) {
int i,count,
position = -1;
for (i=0; i < listOfValues.length; i++) {
if (listOfValues[i] == targetValue)

I'm having a hard time with this problem, this is what I have, but I can not use two integers, I have to use one integer and a string...
This is the question:
Write a method called printStrings that accepts a String and a number of repetitions as parameters and prints that String the given number of times. For example, the call:
printStrings("abc", 5);
will print the following output: abcabcabcabcabc
This is what I attempted:
public class printStringsproject {
public static void printStrings(int abc, int number) {
for (int i = 1; i <= number; i++) {
System.out.print("abc");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
printStrings(1, 5);
}
}

I have to write some code to take names from the user and then order them in alphabetical order and then print them out which i have managed to do. However, i can't get it to count the characters in the names that the user enters or count the amount of vowels in the names.
This is the code ive written:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.util.Arrays;
String[] names = new String[9];
int i;
names[0] = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter a name");
names[1] = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter a name");

//read the file
//make the numbers 1 string line
//count the number of repetitiveness in the string for the numbers
//display four lowest ones
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Lottery2
[Code] ....
when I run it the array gets sorted but how do i keep the data in other words
what it is supposed to do is grab numbers from a file, and give me the lowest 4 numbers back. I know the numbers using the array but how do i pull out the lowest 4 and keep the data true no matter what numbers or how many of them are in the file.

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.

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 trying to count the number of occurrences of a string in an array list. I used the following code:
int count = Collections.frequency(strings, search);
strings is the name of the array list and search is the string that I am trying to count the number of occurrences of. My program compiles correctly, but when I enter the string to search for, I get the following error: "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.Collections.frquency(Collections.java:37 18)
Why am I getting this error message and how do I fix it?

I'm new to Java. I have a problem with this code, wherein you have to count how many times you borrow in order to do subtraction.
For example:
x = 312;
y = 34;
The output should be: 2 because you have borrowed 2 times in subtraction.
My problem is like this, whenever I input x=12, y=2, the output is 1, also, when x = 12, y = 1. It should be 0.
Here's my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class BorrowOut{
public static void main (String [] args){
Scanner in = new Scanner (System.in);
int x;
int y;
int i = 0;
int j = 0;

i need a password program that does the following:
- only shows the character count
- toggles between seeing the actual letters and character count in the text field with a button
i don't know how to update the character count as the user is counting.i read the oracle tutorial, and i have a vague idea that i'm supposed to use Document Listener but i'm quite clueless here.for the second part i'm thinking about using white space for the masking character and unmasking the field.

I need to create a simply application that would display the results of two dice thrown five times and the total of those results. This is shown below in the attached file.
The problem is, I have a do-while loop that loops 6 times. Inside the loop, I have 2 random.nextInt(5) that generate random numbers. But how can I output the total? How can I make a variable equal to the sum of the two random numbers if the two random numbers are located inside a do-while loop?
Attached below is also the code I have thus far.
(Attached below is both files: what it needs to look like, and what it currently looks like)

I'm creating a program that searches a txt file for a given string, then return the number line and the line itself. However, my testFile class isn't detecting my searchWord methods.
The searchWord and recursiveSearch is written in a java class called BasicFile
public List<String> searchWord(String key) throws Exception {
LineNumberReader lnr = new LineNumberReader(new FileReader(f));
return recursiveSearch(lnr.readLine(), key, lnr);
}
public List<String> recursiveSearch(String currentLineText, String key, LineNumberReader lnr)
[code]....
Is it because I'm using a list instead of a string?

I am trying to make a program to multiplies two numbers without using the "*" operator. My idea was to add x number y amount of times, which is the same as multiplication. I did this with a for loop, but zero is always returned as the answer. How can I fix this?
public class secondMult {
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println(multWithSum(4,5));
}
public static int multWithSum(int x, int y){
int sum = 0;
for(int i = 0; i==y;i++){
sum = sum + x;
}
return sum;

I want to develop a dynamic scheduling application that I hope to use at work, but I have some questions about the design approach since this is my first undertaking of this kind of project.
The purpose of the application is to display a chart showing the lesson times for a particular teacher and her students.
Here's are more important details:
-The chart displays the current day's schedule.
-The top row displays the teacher's name. There are at least 4 teachers each day.
-The leftmost column shows the times (from 3:00 to 8:00).
-The table is filled with the names of the students.
My current problem is deciding on the best approach to storing this data containing the teacher and her students and times. I should also note that there are about 500 students and around 20 teachers (i.e. the dataset is small). Is this a problem solved using a database and JDBC or could I just write the data to file? Are there other approaches that would solve this problem?
