I am not sure what to do, I have found all this online and I am trying to change it to do what I explained above but I am stuck. Basically what I want to do is copy and paste an essay into the code somewhere, the have it look through the essay for any words i tell it to look for, and if it finds them then to replace it with the word or words I want it to.
/**

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class Main {
public static void main ( String args[] ){
String[] sEnterWord = getSortedWordArr();
showWordlist(sEnterWord);
String sWordToChange = getInputFromKeyboard("Which word would you like to change? ");
System.out.println("You have chosen to change the word : " + sWordToChange);
changeWordInArray(sWordToChange, sEnterWord);
Arrays.sort(sEnterWord);
showWordlist(sEnterWord);
}
private static String[] getSortedWordArr(){
String line = getInputFromKeyboard("How many words are you going to enter? ");
int length = Integer.valueOf(line);
String[] sEnterWord = new String[length];
for(int nCtr = 0; nCtr < length; nCtr++){
sEnterWord[nCtr] = getInputFromKeyboard("Enter word " + (nCtr+1) + ":");
}

return sEnterWord;

private static String getInputFromKeyboard(String prompt){
System.out.print(prompt);

String input = s.nextLine();
return input;

for (String w : words){
System.out.println(w);

private static void changeWordInArray(String word, String[] array){

array[i] = newWord;

}
}
To read from the keyboard use
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (isr);
String cadena = br.readLine();
And all the words you introduced form the keyboard will be in "cadena".
To separte all the words you introduced you could use the method split from String.class.
String[] words = cadena.split(" ");
To find a specific word you could use a method and the code would be in your method would be:
String yourWord = "";
for(int i = 0; i < words.length; i++)
{
if(words[i].equals("your word"))
{
yourWord = words[i];
break;
}
}
To replece a word use the method replce(theWord, "the replacement")
You can prints all the words using a loop for with System.out.println(yourWord);
public static String[] wordList(String line){
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(line);
String[] words = line.split(" ");
for( int i=0; i<words.length; i++)
{
String word = scanner.next();
return words[i] = word;
}
scanner.close();
}
On the line return words[i] = word; I get the error message saying "cannot convert String to String[]". Help?
line.split() already gives you an array, you just need to return that:
public class Test {
public static String[] wordList(String line){
return line.split(" ");
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
String xyzzy = "paxdiablo has left the building";
String[] arr = wordList(xyzzy);
for (String s: arr)
System.out.println(s);
}
}
Running that gives:
paxdiablo
has
left
the
building
Keep in mind that's for one space between each word. If you want a more general solution that uses a separator of "any amount of whitespace", you can use this instead:
public static String[] wordList(String line){
return line.split("\\s+");
}
The regular expressions that you can use with String.split() can be found here.
String[] words = line.split(" ");
Is all you need. The split() method already returns an array of Strings.
Assuming you're trying to split by spaces, you're method should look like:
public static String[] wordList(String line){
return line.split(" ");
}
I am supposed to reverse the individual words in a sentence using a helper method that takes a string as a parameter and returns a string. The stack is supposed to be in the helper method. So my program works in that it reverses the words correctly. But reverse isnt actually getting returned, i think its just printing the stack. Can anyone help me return and print the string variable 'reverse'.
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Stack;
public class ReverseStack
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String sentence;
System.out.print("Enter a sentence: ");
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
sentence = scan.nextLine();
System.out.println("Reversed:" + PrintStack(sentence));
}
private static String PrintStack(String sentence)
{
String reverse = "";
String next = "";
Stack<String> stack= new Stack<String>();
String words[] = sentence.split(" ");
for(int j = 1; j<words.length +1; j++)
{
String newWord = words[words.length - j]; // Single word
for(int i = 0; i < newWord.length(); i++)
{
next = newWord.substring(i,i+1);
stack.push(next);
}
stack.push(" ");
}
while(!stack.isEmpty())
{
reverse += stack.pop();
}
return reverse;
}
}
You are reversing twice and ending up with the same order. Your Stack gives reverse order, but you are adding the words in reverse order, so the order is unchanged.
If you used a debugger it should be obvious to you what the issues is.
BTW You can make the code much shorter.
private static String printStack(String sentence) {
Stack<String> stack= new Stack<String>();
for(String word: sentence.split(" ")
stack.push(word);
String line = stack.pop();
while(!stack.isEmpty())
line += " " + stack.pop();
return line;
}
I've been looking and I can't find anywhere how to write a word count using 3 methods. Here is what the code looks like so far. I'm lost on how to use the methods. I can do this without using different methods and just using one. Please help!!!
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a string: ");
String s = in.nextLine();
if (s.length() > 0)
{
getInputString(s);
}
else
{
System.out.println("ERROR - string must not be empty.");
System.out.print("Enter a string: ");
s = in.nextLine();
}
// Fill in the body with your code
}
// Given a Scanner, prompt the user for a String. If the user enters an empty
// String, report an error message and ask for a non-empty String. Return the
// String to the calling program.
private static String getInputString(String s) {
int count = getWordCount();
while (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++)
{
if (s.charAt(i) == " ")
{
count ++;
}
}
getWordCount(count);
// Fill in the body
// NOTE: Do not declare a Scanner in the body of this method.
}
// Given a String return the number of words in the String. A word is a sequence of
// characters with no spaces. Write this method so that the function call:
// int count = getWordCount("The quick brown fox jumped");
// results in count having a value of 5. You will call this method from the main method.
// For this assignment you may assume that
// words will be separated by exactly one space.
private static int getWordCount(String input) {
// Fill in the body
}
}
EDIT:
I have changed the code to
private static String getInputString(String s) {
String words = getWordCount(s);
return words.length();
}
private static int getWordCount(String s) {
return s.split(" ");
}
But I can't get the string convert to integer.
You have read the name of the method, and look at the comments to decide what should be implemented inside the method, and the values it should return.
The getInputString method signature should be:
private static String getInputString(Scanner s) {
String inputString = "";
// read the input string from system in
// ....
return inputString;
}
The getWordCount method signature should be:
private static int getWordCount(String input) {
int wordCount = 0;
// count the number of words in the input String
// ...
return wordCount;
}
The main method should look something like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
// instantiate the Scanner variable
// call the getInputString method to ... you guessed it ... get the input string
// call the getWordCount method to get the word count
// Display the word count
}
count=1 //last word must be counted
for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++)
{
ch=s.charAt(i);
if(ch==' ')
{
count++;
}
}
Use trim() and split() on 1-n whitespace chars:
private static int getWordCount(String s) {
return s.trim().split("\\s+").length;
}
The call to trim() is necessary, otherwise you'll get one extra "word" if there is leading spaces in the string.
The parameter "\\s+" is necessary to count multiple spaces as a single word separator. \s is the regex for "whitespace". + is regex for "1 or more".
What you need to do is, count the number of spaces in the string. That is the number of words in the string.
You will see your count will be off by 1, but after some pondering and bug hunting you will figure out why.
Happy learning!
You can do this by :
private static int getWordCount(String input) {
return input.split("\\s+").length;
}
Use String.split() method like :
String[] words = s.split("\\s+");
int wordCount = words.length;
I'm not sure what trouble you're having with methods but I dont think you need more than one, try this: it uses split to split up the words in a string, and you can chose the delimeters
String sentence = "This is a sentence.";
String[] words = sentence.split(" ");
for (String word : words) {
System.out.println(word);
}
then you can do:
numberOfWords = words.length();
if you want to use 3 methods, you can call a method from your main() method that does this for you, for example:
public String getInputString() {
Scanner in = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a string: ");
String s = in.nextLine();
if (s.length() > 0) {
return s;
} else {
System.out.println("ERROR - string must not be empty.");
System.out.print("Enter a string: ");
return getInputString();
}
}
public int wordCount(String s) {
words = splitString(s)
return words.length();
}
public String[] splitString(String s) {
return s.split(" ");
}
Based on your code i think this is what you're trying to do:
private static int getWordCount(String input) {
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < input.length(); i++) {
if (input.charAt(i) == ' ') {
count++;
}
}
return count;
}
Here's what I've done:
I've moved the code you were 'playing' with into the right method (getWordCount).
Corrected the loop you were trying to use (I think you have for and while loops confused)
Fixed your check for the space character (' ' not " ")
There is a bug in this code which you'll need to work out how to fix:
getWordCount("How are you"); will return 2 when it should be 3
getWordCount(""); will return 0
getWordCount("Hello"); will return 0 when it should be 1
Good luck!
Better use simple function of spilt() with arguments as space
int n= str.split(" ").length;
public static int Repeat_Words(String arg1,String arg2)
{
//It find number of words can be formed from a given string
if(arg1.length() < 1 || arg2.length() < 1)
return 0;
int no_words = 99999;
char[] str1 = arg1.toCharArray();
char[] str2 = arg2.toCharArray();
for(int x = 0; x < str1.length; x++)
{
int temp = 0;
for(int y = 0; y < str2.length; y++)
{
if(str1[x] == str2[y])
temp++;
}
if(temp == 0)
return 0;
if(no_words > temp)
no_words = temp;
temp = 0;
}
return no_words;
}
I want to split string without using split . can anybody solve my problem I am tried but
I cannot find the exact logic.
Since this seems to be a task designed as coding practice, I'll only guide. No code for you, sir, though the logic and the code aren't that far separated.
You will need to loop through each character of the string, and determine whether or not the character is the delimiter (comma or semicolon, for instance). If not, add it to the last element of the array you plan to return. If it is the delimiter, create a new empty string as the array's last element to start feeding your characters into.
I'm going to assume that this is homework, so I will only give snippets as hints:
Finding indices of all occurrences of a given substring
Here's an example of using indexOf with the fromIndex parameter to find all occurrences of a substring within a larger string:
String text = "012ab567ab0123ab";
// finding all occurrences forward: Method #1
for (int i = text.indexOf("ab"); i != -1; i = text.indexOf("ab", i+1)) {
System.out.println(i);
} // prints "3", "8", "14"
// finding all occurrences forward: Method #2
for (int i = -1; (i = text.indexOf("ab", i+1)) != -1; ) {
System.out.println(i);
} // prints "3", "8", "14"
String API links
int indexOf(String, int fromIndex)
Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified substring, starting at the specified index. If no such occurrence exists, -1 is returned.

Extracting substrings at given indices out of a string
This snippet extracts substring at given indices out of a string and puts them into a List<String>:
String text = "0123456789abcdefghij";
List<String> parts = new ArrayList<String>();
parts.add(text.substring(0, 5));
parts.add(text.substring(3, 7));
parts.add(text.substring(9, 13));
parts.add(text.substring(18, 20));
System.out.println(parts); // prints "[01234, 3456, 9abc, ij]"
String[] partsArray = parts.toArray(new String[0]);

You do now that most of the java standard libraries are open source
In this case you can start here
Use String tokenizer to split strings in Java without split:
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class tt {
public static void main(String a[]){
String s = "012ab567ab0123ab";
String delims = "ab ";
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s, delims);
System.out.println("No of Token = " + st.countTokens());
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
System.out.println(st.nextToken());
}
}
}
This is the right answer
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class tt {
public static void main(String a[]){
String s = "012ab567ab0123ab";
String delims = "ab ";
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s, delims);
System.out.println("No of Token = " + st.countTokens());
while (st.hasMoreTokens())
{
System.out.println(st.nextToken());
}
}
}
/**

public class NoJavaSplit {

String text1 = "Some text for example ";
String text2 = " Second sentences ";
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(mySplit(text1, text2)));
}
private static String [] mySplit(String text1, String text2) {
text1 = text1.trim() + " " + text2.trim() + " ";
char n = ' ';
int massValue = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < text1.length(); i++) {
if (text1.charAt(i) == n) {
massValue++;
}
}
String[] splitArray = new String[massValue];
for (int i = 0; i < splitArray.length; ) {
for (int j = 0; j < text1.length(); j++) {
if (text1.charAt(j) == n) {
splitArray[i] = text1.substring(0, j);
text1 = text1.substring(j + 1, text1.length());
j = 0;
i++;
}
}
return splitArray;
}
return null;
}
}
you can try, the way i did `{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
String str = sc.nextLine();
for(int i = 0; i <str.length();i++) {
if(str.charAt(i)==' ') { // whenever it found space it'll create separate words from string
System.out.println();
continue;
}
System.out.print(str.charAt(i));
}
sc.close();
}`
The logic is: go through the whole string starting from first character and whenever you find a space copy the last part to a new string.. not that hard?
The way to go is to define the function you need first. In this case, it would probably be:
String[] split(String s, String separator)
The return type doesn't have to be an array. It can also be a list:
List<String> split(String s, String separator)
The code would then be roughly as follows:
start at the beginning
find the next occurence of the delimiter
the substring between the end of the previous delimiter and the start of the current delimiter is added to the result
continue with step 2 until you have reached the end of the string
There are many fine points that you need to consider:
What happens if the string starts or ends with the delimiter?
What if multiple delimiters appear next to each other?
What should be the result of splitting the empty string? (1 empty field or 0 fields)
You can do it using Java standard libraries.
Say the delimiter is : and
String s = "Harry:Potter"
int a = s.find(delimiter);
and then add
s.substring(start, a)
to a new String array.
Keep doing this till your start < string length
Should be enough I guess.
public class MySplit {
public static String[] mySplit(String text,String delemeter){
java.util.List<String> parts = new java.util.ArrayList<String>();
text+=delemeter;
for (int i = text.indexOf(delemeter), j=0; i != -1;) {
parts.add(text.substring(j,i));
j=i+delemeter.length();
i = text.indexOf(delemeter,j);
}
return parts.toArray(new String[0]);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str="012ab567ab0123ab";
String delemeter="ab";
String result[]=mySplit(str,delemeter);

You cant split with out using split(). Your only other option is to get the strings char indexes and and get sub strings.
