How To Get 1st Letter Of Input (String) And Compare It To Single Letter Before Insert To DB
Apr 15, 2014
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?

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=" ";
String dash="-";
[code]....

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.

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;

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);
}
}

Alright so I wrote a switch statement that decides what range to print based on the letter grade input.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class SwitchPractice
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
[code]...
It works fine, but once it the user enters a letter grade and then displays the value, it does not prompt the user for another letter grade so that it can perform the output again. Also if I wanted to display an error message to the user if they enter an invalid letter grade how would I do that. I tried using a while loop and if statement in the switch statement but that didn't work.

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.

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?

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;

I'm trying to figure out the correct way to replace number into letter. In this case, I need two steps.
First, convert letter to number. Second, restore number to word.
Words list: a = 1, b = 2, f = 6 and k = 11.
I have word: "baafk"
So, for first step, it must be: "211611"
Number "211611" must be converted to "baafk".
But, I failed at second step.
Code I've tried:
public class str_number {
public static void main(String[] args){
String word = "baafk";
String number = word.replace("a", "1").replace("b","2").replace("f","6").replace("k","11");
System.out.println(word);
[Code] .....
Result for converting to number: baafk = 211611 But, result for converting above number to letter: 211611 = bkfk
What do I miss here?
How to distinguish if 11 is for "aa" and for "k"? D

I had a list of some numbers having a prefix A like A12 , A55, A76 ,A111 ,A888, A88 ,A880 A111 , A11,A1
I need to sort this list so the result would be A1,A11,A12,A55,A76....
How to do this. Can I use arrays.sort method to achieve the same or any other way.

The purpose of this project is to determine the letter grade of students. The program needs to accept two command line arguments:
The first being the name of a disk file that contains the names of students, and their test scores, separated by commas followed by one or more spaces. Each line in the file will contain scores for one student.
The second argument is the name of an output disk file. The program is supposed to create a new output disk file using that name.
The number of students in the input file is unknown during compile time. The name of input and output files could be anything and only known during run time. Additionally, the average scores, along with the minimum and maximum scores for each test are to be displayed in the console.
Calculation: Final Score = quiz1 * .10 + quiz2 * .10 + quiz3 * .10 + quiz4 * .10 + midi * .20 + midii * .15 + final * .25
Final Score >= 90% then letter grade is A, 80%-89% B, 70%-79% C, 60-69% D, <= 59% F
input_data.txt:
firstName lastName, 100, 90, 80, 100, 89, 99, 88
firstName lastName, 90, 90, 100, 100, 99, 100, 95
firstName lastName, 100, 90, 100, 70, 78, 78, 80
firstName lastName, 80, 90, 90, 100, 89, 99, 85
etc.
output_data.txt
firstName lastName: B
firstName lastName: A
firstName lastName: F
firstName lastName: B
firstName lastName: C
averages (to appear in console)
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 MidI MidII Final
Average: 82.25 80.38 82.85 83.88 81.38 84.13 78.63
Minimum: 60 54 38 62 62 60 50
Maximum: 100 90 100 100 99 100 95

I need to know how many four letter strings I can generate that begin with the letter "v". Now I had been testing many ways to do this but anm stuck. I can generate a single line up only a certain amount. I need it to continue till it reaches the max number. So since it needs to always start with V i eliminated the need for four and only a 3 letter string.
package javaapplication4;
import java.util.Random;
public class JavaApplication4 {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
Random r = new Random();
int c = r.nextInt(26)+ (byte)'a';

q:0
r:0
s:0
t:0

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.
