I have to create a program for returning the next non-repeated character..
ex I give ... tweet
and it should return output as w...
public class str_next {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Enter the string");
String s = br.readLine();
revString(s);
}
static char revString(String str) {
int i = 0;
int j;
int n = str.length();
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
for (j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
char c = str.charAt(i);
char d = str.charAt(j);
if (c != d) {
System.out.print(d);
}
}
}
}
}
I am getting error as .. missing return statement..
Can anyone please tell me.. How do I solve such a problem.. Where am I wrong..?
To solve your problem simply add,
return d;
in your function. But it's better to understand how this actually works:
Functions/Methods are written as
accessor_type return_type function_name(parameter_list)
{
//stuff to do in your code
}
For e.g.
public char returnChar(int a)
| | | |
| | | |
^ ^ ^ ^
accessor return name parameter
this means that this function will return a character.
In the sense, you need to a char like this in your function
return char;
Try reading up on methods and their return types. :)
References:
Defining Methods
Return a value from a method
you have not written the return statement.Use return ;
You have written the return type for revString(String str) as char and you are not returning any character.
Change that return type to void
or add line return d; to the method
You have missing the return statement in your code.
here is the code which returns what you want
CODE
public static Character findFirstNonRepeated(String input) {
// create a new hashtable:
Hashtable<Character, Object> hashChar = new Hashtable<Character, Object>();
int j, strLength;
Character chr;
Object oneTime = new Object();
Object twoTimes = new Object();
strLength = input.length();
for (j = 0; j < strLength; j++) {
chr = new Character(input.charAt(j));
Object o = hashChar.get(chr);
/*
* if there is no entry for that particular character, then insert
* the oneTime flag:
*/
if (o == null) {
hashChar.put(chr, oneTime);
}
/*
*/
else if (o == oneTime) {
hashChar.put(chr, twoTimes);
}
}
/*
* go through hashtable and search for the first nonrepeated char:
*/
int length = strLength;
for (j = 0; j < length; j++) {
chr = new Character(input.charAt(j));
Object c = null;
if (hashChar.get(chr) == oneTime)
return chr;
}
/*
* this only returns null if the loop above doesn't find a nonrepeated
* character in the hashtable
*/
return null;
}
Use like this
char my = findFirstNonRepeated("twwwweety");
System.out.println(my);
This will return y.
Add each character to a HashSet and check whether hashset.add() returns true, if it returns false ,then remove the character from hashset. Then getting the first value of the hashset will give you the first non repeated character.
Algorithm:
for(i=0;i<str.length;i++)
{
HashSet hashSet=new HashSet<>()
if(!hashSet.add(str[i))
hashSet.remove(str[i])
}
hashset.get(0) will give the non repeated character.
Try this,
// Split the string into characters
// Check if entry exists in the HashMap, if yes- return the character, if No- inert the element with value 1
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s = "rep e atit";
char c = nonRepeat(s);
System.out.println("The first non repeated character is:" + c);
}
private static char nonRepeat(String ss) {
char c;
HashMap<Character, Integer> hm = new HashMap<Character, Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < ss.length(); i++) {
c = ss.charAt(i); // get each chaar from string
if (hm.containsKey(c)) {// char is already in map, increase count
hm.put(c, hm.get(c) + 1);
return c;
} else {
hm.put(c, 1);
}
}
return '0';
}
IN JAVA
using for loop only.....
it is very easy....you can do it without collection in java..
just try it.....
public class FirstNonRepeatedString{
public static void main(String args[]) {
String input = "tweet";
char process[] = input.toCharArray();
boolean status = false;
int index = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < process.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < process.length; j++) {
if (i == j) {
continue;
} else {
if (process[i] == process[j]) {
status = false;
break;
} else {
status = true;
index = i;
}
}
}
if (status) {
System.out.println("First non-repeated string is : " + process[index] + " INDEX " + index);
break;
}
}
}
}
public class JavaPractice {
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("Enter input String");
Scanner s= new Scanner(System.in);
String input= s.nextLine();
int length=input.length();
for(int i=0;i<length;i++)
{
int temp=0;
for(int j=0;j<length;j++)
{
if(input.charAt(i)==input.charAt(j))
{temp++;}
}
if(temp==1)
{System.out.println(input.charAt(i));}
}
}
}
your program should be like this:
import java.io.*;
public class str_next {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Enter the string");
String s = br.readLine();
revString(s);
}
static char revString(String str) {
int i = 0;
int j;
int n = str.length();
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
for (j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
char c = str.charAt(i);
char d = str.charAt(j);
if (c != d) {
System.out.print(d);
}
}
}
return 0;
}
}

This was the code I designed to solve this problem but it seems not to work at all.I used nested for loops to compare the letters of the first string and the second string since they are likely to have different lengths
import java.util.*;
public class Trim
{
public static String myTrim(String input, String list)
{
String r = "";
for (int i = 1; i < input.length();i++)
{
for (int k = 1; k < list.length();k++)
{
if (input.charAt(i) != list.charAt(i))
{
r += input.charAt(i);
}
}
}
return r;
}
}
I guess you should use the method String.indexOf.
So:
public static String myTrim(String input, String list)
{
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
char c;
for (int i = 0; i < input.length(); i++)
{
c = input.charAt(i);
if (list.indexOf(c) < 0)
result.append(c);
}
return result.toString();
}
Try using a flag to determine whether to character gets repeated or not:
String r = "";
for (int i = input.length() - 1; 0 <= i; i --) {
if (-1 == list.indexOf(input.charAt(i))) {
r += input.charAt(i);
}
}
OR
String r = "";
boolean found;
for (int i = input.length() - 1, j = list.length() - 1; 0 <= i; i--) {
found = false;
for (int k = j; 0 <= k; k--) {
if (list.charAt(k) == input.charAt(i)) {
found = true;
break;
}
}
if (!found) {
r += input.charAt(i);
}
}
We have to filter out the characters from input which appears in list.
Now we have to check whether each character of the input appears in the list or not.
The k value will be less then list.length() if the character of input present in the list string.
After the loop we check the k value and append it to the new string.
public static String myTrim(String input, String list)
{
String r = "";
for (int i = 0; i < input.length();i++)
{
int k = 0;
for (; k < list.length();k++)
{
if (input.charAt(i) == list.charAt(k))
{
break;
}
}
if(k == list.length())
r += input.charAt(i);
}
return r;
}
A nice one-liner solution would be to use Guava Charmatcher:
CharMatcher.anyOf(list).removeFrom(input);
I have tried this code and it's working fine with both of your inputs
for (int i = 0; i < S1.length(); i++) {
for(int j=0;j< S2.length();j++) {
if(S1.charAt(i)==S2.charAt(j)) {
char Temp= S2.charAt(j);
String Temp2=String.valueOf(Temp);
S1=S1.replace(Temp2, "");
}
}
}
This is code
import java.util.Scanner;
public class StringRemoveChar {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
String S1, S2;
S1 = scanner.nextLine();
S2 = scanner.nextLine();
for (int i = 0; i < S1.length(); i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < S2.length(); j++) {
if (S1.charAt(i) == S2.charAt(j)) {
char Temp = S2.charAt(j);
String Temp2 = String.valueOf(Temp);
S1 = S1.replace(Temp2, "");
System.out.println(S1.length());
}
}
}
System.out.println(S1);
}
}
Input:
Miyazaki
you
Output:
Miazaki
We can use replaceAll and use one loop over ,this will make the solution simple
public static String myTrim(String input, String list)
{
for(int i=0;i<list.length();i++)
{
input=input.replaceAll(list.charAt(i)+"","");
}
return input;
}
Input: myTrim("Miyazaki","you")
Output: Miazaki
Full code for reference

}
public static String myTrim(String input, String list)

input=input.replaceAll(list.charAt(i)+"","");

I'm writing a program that will print the unique character in a string (entered through a scanner). I've created a method that tries to accomplish this but I keep getting characters that are not repeats, instead of a character (or characters) that is unique to the string. I want the unique letters only.
Here's my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Sameness{
public static void main (String[]args){
Scanner kb = new Scanner (System.in);
String word = "";
System.out.println("Enter a word: ");
word = kb.nextLine();
uniqueCharacters(word);
}
public static void uniqueCharacters(String test){
String temp = "";
for (int i = 0; i < test.length(); i++){
if (temp.indexOf(test.charAt(i)) == - 1){
temp = temp + test.charAt(i);
}
}
System.out.println(temp + " ");
}
}
And here's sample output with the above code:
Enter a word:
nreena
nrea
The expected output would be: ra
Based on your desired output, you have to replace a character that initially has been already added when it has a duplicated later, so:
public static void uniqueCharacters(String test){
String temp = "";
for (int i = 0; i < test.length(); i++){
char current = test.charAt(i);
if (temp.indexOf(current) < 0){
temp = temp + current;
} else {
temp = temp.replace(String.valueOf(current), "");
}
}
System.out.println(temp + " ");
}
How about applying the KISS principle:
public static void uniqueCharacters(String test) {
System.out.println(test.chars().distinct().mapToObj(c -> String.valueOf((char)c)).collect(Collectors.joining()));
}
The accepted answer will not pass all the test case for example
input -"aaabcdd"
desired output-"bc"
but the accepted answer will give -abc
because the character a present odd number of times.
Here I have used ConcurrentHasMap to store character and the number of occurrences of character then removed the character if the occurrences is more than one time.
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap;
public class RemoveConductive {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s="aabcddkkbghff";
String[] cvrtar=s.trim().split("");
ConcurrentHashMap<String,Integer> hm=new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
for(int i=0;i<cvrtar.length;i++){
if(!hm.containsKey(cvrtar[i])){
hm.put(cvrtar[i],1);
}
else{
hm.put(cvrtar[i],hm.get(cvrtar[i])+1);
}
}
for(String ele:hm.keySet()){
if(hm.get(ele)>1){
hm.remove(ele);
}
}
for(String key:hm.keySet()){
System.out.print(key);
}
}
}
Though to approach a solution I would suggest you to try and use a better data structure and not just string. Yet, you can simply modify your logic to delete already existing duplicates using an else as follows :
public static void uniqueCharacters(String test) {
String temp = "";
for (int i = 0; i < test.length(); i++) {
char ch = test.charAt(i);
if (temp.indexOf(ch) == -1) {
temp = temp + ch;
} else {
temp.replace(String.valueOf(ch),""); // added this to your existing code
}
}
System.out.println(temp + " ");
}
This is an interview question. Find Out all the unique characters of a string.
Here is the complete solution. The code itself is self explanatory.
public class Test12 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String a = "ProtijayiGiniGina";
allunique(a);
}
private static void allunique(String a) {
int[] count = new int[256];// taking count of characters
for (int i = 0; i < a.length(); i++) {
char ch = a.charAt(i);
count[ch]++;
}
for (int i = 0; i < a.length(); i++) {
char chh = a.charAt(i);
// character which has arrived only one time in the string will be printed out
if (count[chh] == 1) {
System.out.println("index => " + i + " and unique character => " + a.charAt(i));
}
}
}// unique
}
In Python :
def firstUniqChar(a):
count = [0] *256
for i in a: count[ord(i)] += 1
element = ""
for item in a:
if (count[ord(item)] == 1):
element = item;
break;
return element
a = "GiniGinaProtijayi";
print(firstUniqChar(a)) # output is P
public static String input = "10 5 5 10 6 6 2 3 1 3 4 5 3";
public static void uniqueValue (String numbers) {
String [] str = input.split(" ");
Set <String> unique = new HashSet <String> (Arrays.asList(str));
System.out.println(unique);
for (String value:unique) {
int count = 0;
for ( int i= 0; i<str.length; i++) {
if (value.equals(str[i])) {
count++;
}
}
System.out.println(value+"\t"+count);
}
}
public static void main(String [] args) {
uniqueValue(input);
}
Step1: To find the unique characters in a string, I have first taken the string from user.
Step2: Converted the input string to charArray using built in function in java.
Step3: Considered two HashSet (set1 for storing all characters even if it is getting repeated, set2 for storing only unique characters.
Step4 : Run for loop over the array and check that if particular character is not there in set1 then add it to both set1 and set2. if that particular character is already there in set1 then add it to set1 again but remove it from set2.( This else part is useful when particular character is getting repeated odd number of times).
Step5 : Now set2 will have only unique characters. Hence, just print that set2.
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String str = input.next();
char arr[] = str.toCharArray();
HashSet<Character> set1=new HashSet<Character>();
HashSet<Character> set2=new HashSet<Character>();
for(char i:arr)
{
if(set1.contains(i))
{
set1.add(i);
set2.remove(i);
}
else
{
set1.add(i);
set2.add(i);
}
}
System.out.println(set2);
}
I would store all the characters of the string in an array that you will loop through to check if the current characters appears there more than once. If it doesn't, then add it to temp.
public static void uniqueCharacters(String test) {
String temp = "";
char[] array = test.toCharArray();
int count; //keep track of how many times the character exists in the string
outerloop: for (int i = 0; i < test.length(); i++) {
count = 0; //reset the count for every new letter
for(int j = 0; j < array.length; j++) {
if(test.charAt(i) == array[j])
count++;
if(count == 2){
count = 0;
continue outerloop; //move on to the next letter in the string; this will skip the next two lines below
}
}
temp += test.charAt(i);
System.out.println("Adding.");
}
System.out.println(temp);
}
I have added comments for some more detail.

public static void main(String[] args)

for(int i=0;i<s1.length();i++)

while(itr.hasNext()){
System.out.println(itr.next());
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("error");
}

If you don't want to use additional space:
String abc="developer";
System.out.println("The unique characters are-");
for(int i=0;i<abc.length();i++)
{
for(int j=i+1;j<abc.length();j++)
{
if(abc.charAt(i)==abc.charAt(j))
abc=abc.replace(String.valueOf(abc.charAt(j))," ");
}
}
System.out.println(abc);
Time complexity O(n^2) and no space.
This String algorithm is used to print unique characters in a string.It runs in O(n) runtime where n is the length of the string.It supports ASCII characters only.

for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {

buildUniq.append(s.charAt(i));
}
}

for(int i =1; i < s.length(); i++){
if(!uniques.contains(s.charAt(i))){
uniques.add(s.charAt(i));
out += s.charAt(i);
}
}
return out;
}
}
What would be the inneficiencies of this answer? How does it compare to other answers?
Based on your desired output you can replace each character already present with a blank character.
public static void uniqueCharacters(String test){
String temp = "";
for(int i = 0; i < test.length(); i++){
if (temp.indexOf(test.charAt(i)) == - 1){
temp = temp + test.charAt(i);
} else {
temp.replace(String.valueOf(temp.charAt(i)), "");
}
}
System.out.println(temp + " ");
}
public void uniq(String inputString) {
String result = "";
int inputStringLen = inputStr.length();
int[] repeatedCharacters = new int[inputStringLen];
char inputTmpChar;
char tmpChar;
for (int i = 0; i < inputStringLen; i++) {
inputTmpChar = inputStr.charAt(i);
for (int j = 0; j < inputStringLen; j++) {
tmpChar = inputStr.charAt(j);
if (inputTmpChar == tmpChar)
repeatedCharacters[i]++;
}
}
for (int k = 0; k < inputStringLen; k++) {
inputTmpChar = inputStr.charAt(k);
if (repeatedCharacters[k] == 1)
result = result + inputTmpChar + " ";
}
System.out.println ("Unique characters: " + result);
}
In first for loop I count the number of times the character repeats in the string. In the second line I am looking for characters repetitive once.
how about this :)
for (int i=0; i< input.length();i++)
if(input.indexOf(input.charAt(i)) == input.lastIndexOf(input.charAt(i)))
System.out.println(input.charAt(i) + " is unique");

Example: attack at noon = a3t3c1k1 2n2o2
It also counts spaces.
Here is what I have, but it doesn't seem to be returning correctly:
String getCount(String str) {
String R = "";
int l = S.length();
int cnt = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < l; i++)
for (int j = i + 1; j < l; j++)
if (S.charAt(j) == S.charAt(i)) {
cnt++;
R = R + S.charAt(i)+""+cnt;
System.out.print(S.charAt(i) + cnt);
}
return R;
}
If the strings are small enough you don't need anything fancy, just brute force it (for attack at noon this runs in 3ms).
This code will iterate over all characters, if not found before it will append the character and its count to a StringBuilder which is then printed before terminating.
import java.util.HashMap;
public class Counter {
HashMap<String, Integer> counts;
StringBuilder result;
public static void main(String[] args) {
Counter counter = new Counter();
counter.countString("attack at noon");
}
void countString(String S) {
counts = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
result = new StringBuilder();
String[] split = S.split("");
for (int i = 1; i < split.length; i++) {
String c = split[i];
countChar(c, S);
}
System.out.println(result);
}
void countChar(String c, String s) {
Integer integer = counts.get(c);
if (integer == null) {
int i = s.length() - s.replace(c, "").length();
counts.put(c, i);
result.append(c).append(i);
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(getCount("attack at noon"));
}
String getCount(String str) {
String R = "";
String S = str;
int l = S.length();
int cnt;
first:for (int i = 0; i < l; i++) { //Foreach letter
cnt = 0;
for (int j = i; j < l; j++) {
if (S.charAt(j) == S.charAt(i)) {
if ( R.indexOf(S.charAt(j)) != -1 ) {
continue first;
}
cnt++;
}
}
R = R + S.charAt(i) + cnt;
}
return R;
}
Output: a3t3c1k1 2n2o2
You should maintain a int[] that stores the counts of each letter in the alphabet.
private int[] getDuplicates(String string) {
String str = string.toLowerCase();
int[] charCounts = new int[27];
for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
char c = str.charAt(i);
if (c == ' ') {
charCounts[26]++;
}
else {
charCounts[c - 'a']++;
}
}
return charCounts;
}
This method will return an array where the 0th index corresponds to the number of times 'a' shows up in your string
public String getCharCounts(String string) {
int[] charCounts = getDuplicates(string);
StringBuffer strBuff = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < charCounts.length; i++) {
if (charCounts[i] > 0) {
char c;
if (i < 26) {
c = (char)(i + (int)'a');
}
else {
c = ' ';
}
strBuff.append(c);
strBuff.append(charCounts[i]);
}
}
return strBuff.toString();
}
This method uses the array you get from the first method and appends the character followed by its count. This is more efficient because you only need to pass through the String one time to get the counts and then pass one time through the array to formulate your deduped String. The run-time is O(n)
Here's my enterprise level solution
attack at noon = a3t3c1k1 2n2o2
Here's another test of the code:
For loop that counts how many characters repeat in a string,
then removes the repeated characters =
f1o6r9 15l1p3t10h6a9c5u1n5s5w1m2y1e11i2g1,1v1d1
And here's the code:
package com.ggl.testing;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Counter {
private List<CharacterCount> characterCounts;
public Counter() {
this.characterCounts = new ArrayList<CharacterCount>();
}
public void countString(String s) {
s = s.toLowerCase();
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
CharacterCount cc = new CharacterCount(s.charAt(i));
addCharacterCount(cc);
}
}
private void addCharacterCount(CharacterCount cc) {
for (CharacterCount count : characterCounts) {
if (count.getCharacter() == cc.getCharacter()) {
count.setCount(count.getCount() + 1);
return;
}
}
cc.setCount(1);
characterCounts.add(cc);
}

"characters";
Counter counter = new Counter();
counter.countString(s);
System.out.println(s + " = " + counter.returnString());

}
public void setCount(int count) {
this.count = count;
}
public char getCharacter() {
return character;
}
}
}
Use a LinkedHashMap to store the counts for each character because it maintains insert order.
public static String countChars(String str) {
Map<Character, Integer> map = new LinkedHashMap<Character, Integer>();
for( char c : str.toCharArray() ) {
if( map.containsKey( c ) ) {
map.put( c, map.get( c ) + 1 );
} else {
map.put( c, 1 );
}
}
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for( Character key : map.keySet() ) {
sb.append(key.toString() + map.get( key ) );
}
return sb.toString();
}
Using Guava.
String getGroup(final String string) {
StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
for(char c : string.toCharArray()) {
int occurances = CharMatcher.is(c).countIn(string);
if (stringBuffer.indexOf(String.valueOf(c)) == -1) {
stringBuffer.append(String.valueOf(c) + occurances);
}
}
return stringBuffer.toString();
}
Hi I've been doing this java program, i should input a string and output the longest palindrome that can be found ..
but my program only output the first letter of the longest palindrome .. i badly need your help .. thanks!
SHOULD BE:
INPUT : abcdcbbcdeedcba
OUTPUT : bcdeedcb
There are two palindrome strings : bcdcb and bcdeedcb
BUT WHEN I INPUT : abcdcbbcdeedcba
output : b

You have two bugs:
1.
for(int y=x+1; y<size-x; y++)
should be
for(int y=x+1; y<size; y++)
since you still want to go all the way to the end of the string. With the previous loop, since x increases throughout the loop, your substring sizes decrease throughout the loop (by removing x characters from their end).
2.
You aren't storing the longest string you've found so far or its length. The code
int storage = 0;
if(storage<sLength) {
storage = sLength;
...
is saying 'if the new string is longer than zero characters, then I will assume it is the longest string found so far and return it as LPalindrome'. That's no help, since we may have previously found a longer palindrome.
If it were me, I would make a static variable (e.g. longestSoFar) to hold the longest palindrome found so far (initially empty). With each new palindrome, check if the new one is longer than longestSoFar. If it is longer, assign it to longestSoFar. Then at the end, display longestSoFar.
In general, if you're having trouble 'remembering' something in the program (e.g. previously seen values) you have to consider storing something statically, since local variables are forgotten once their methods finish.
public class LongestPalindrome {
/**

I have my own way to get longest palindrome in a random word. check this out
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println(longestPalSubstr(in.nextLine().toLowerCase()));
}
static String longestPalSubstr(String str) {
char [] input = str.toCharArray();
Set<CharSequence> out = new HashSet<CharSequence>();
int n1 = str.length()-1;
for(int a=0;a<=n1;a++)
{
for(int m=n1;m>a;m--)
{
if(input[a]==input[m])
{
String nw = "",nw2="";
for (int y=a;y<=m;y++)
{
nw=nw+input[y];
}
for (int t=m;t>=a;t--)
{
nw2=nw2+input[t];
}
if(nw2.equals(nw))
{
out.add(nw);
break;
}
}
}
}
int a = out.size();
int maxpos=0;
int max=0;
Object [] s = out.toArray();
for(int q=0;q<a;q++)
{
if(max<s[q].toString().length())
{
max=s[q].toString().length();
maxpos=q;
}
}
String output = "longest palindrome is : "+s[maxpos].toString()+" and the lengths is : "+ max;
return output;
}
this method will return the max length palindrome and the length of it. its a way that i tried and got the answer. and this method will run whether its a odd length or even length.
public class LongestPalindrome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
HashMap<String, Integer> result = findLongestPalindrome("ayrgabcdeedcbaghihg123444456776");
result.forEach((k, v) -> System.out.println("String:" + k + " Value:" + v));
}
private static HashMap<String, Integer> findLongestPalindrome(String str) {
int i = 0;
HashMap<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
while (i < str.length()) {
String alpha = String.valueOf(str.charAt(i));
if (str.indexOf(str.charAt(i)) != str.lastIndexOf(str.charAt(i))) {
String pali = str.substring(i, str.lastIndexOf(str.charAt(i)) + 1);
if (isPalindrome(pali)) {
map.put(pali, pali.length());
i = str.lastIndexOf(str.charAt(i));
}
}
i++;
}
return map;
}
public static boolean isPalindrome(String input) {
for (int i = 0; i <= input.length() / 2; i++) {
if (input.charAt(i) != input.charAt(input.length() - 1 - i)) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
}
This approach is simple.
Output:
String:abcdeedcba Value:10
String:4444 Value:4
String:6776 Value:4
String:ghihg Value:5
This is my own way to get longest palindrome. this will return the length and the palindrome word
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println(longestPalSubstr(in.nextLine().toLowerCase()));
}
static String longestPalSubstr(String str) {
char [] input = str.toCharArray();
Set<CharSequence> out = new HashSet<CharSequence>();
int n1 = str.length()-1;
for(int a=0;a<=n1;a++)
{
for(int m=n1;m>a;m--)
{
if(input[a]==input[m])
{
String nw = "",nw2="";
for (int y=a;y<=m;y++)
{
nw=nw+input[y];
}
for (int t=m;t>=a;t--)
{
nw2=nw2+input[t];
}
if(nw2.equals(nw))
{
out.add(nw);
break;
}
}
}
}
int a = out.size();
int maxpos=0;
int max=0;
Object [] s = out.toArray();
for(int q=0;q<a;q++)
{
if(max<s[q].toString().length())
{
max=s[q].toString().length();
maxpos=q;
}
}
String output = "longest palindrome is : "+s[maxpos].toString()+" and the lengths is : "+ max;
return output;
}
this method will return the max length palindrome and the length of it. its a way that i tried and got the answer. and this method will run whether its a odd length or even length.
I need to create a method that receives a String and also returns a String.
Ex input: AAABBBBCC
Ex output: 3A4B2C
Well, this is quite embarrassing and I couldn't manage to do it on the interview that I had today ( I was applying for a Junior position ), now, trying at home I made something that works statically, I mean, not using a loop which is kind of useless but I don't know if I'm not getting enough hours of sleep or something but I can't figure it out how my for loop should look like. This is the code:
public static String Comprimir(String texto){
StringBuilder objString = new StringBuilder();
int count;
char match;
count = texto.substring(texto.indexOf(texto.charAt(1)), texto.lastIndexOf(texto.charAt(1))).length()+1;
match = texto.charAt(1);
objString.append(count);
objString.append(match);
return objString.toString();
}
Thanks for your help, I'm trying to improve my logic skills.
Loop through the string remembering what you last saw. Every time you see the same letter count. When you see a new letter put what you have counted onto the output and set the new letter as what you have last seen.
String input = "AAABBBBCC";
int count = 1;
char last = input.charAt(0);
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
for(int i = 1; i < input.length(); i++){
if(input.charAt(i) == last){
count++;
}else{
if(count > 1){
output.append(""+count+last);
}else{
output.append(last);
}
count = 1;
last = input.charAt(i);
}
}
if(count > 1){
output.append(""+count+last);
}else{
output.append(last);
}
System.out.println(output.toString());
You can do that using the following steps:
Create a HashMap
For every character, Get the value from the hashmap
-If the value is null, enter 1
-else, replace the value with (value+1)
Iterate over the HashMap and keep concatenating (Value+Key)
use StringBuilder (you did that)
define two variables - previousChar and counter
loop from 0 to str.length() - 1
each time get str.charat(i) and compare it to what's stored in the previousChar variable
if the previous char is the same, increment a counter
if the previous char is not the same, and counter is 1, increment counter
if the previous char is not the same, and counter is >1, append counter + currentChar, reset counter
after the comparison, assign the current char previousChar
cover corner cases like "first char"
Something like that.
The easiest approach:- Time Complexity - O(n)
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str = "AAABBBBCC"; //input String
int length = str.length(); //length of a String
//Created an object of a StringBuilder class
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
int count=1; //counter for counting number of occurances
for(int i=0; i<length; i++){
//if i reaches at the end then append all and break the loop
if(i==length-1){
sb.append(str.charAt(i)+""+count);
break;
}
//if two successive chars are equal then increase the counter
if(str.charAt(i)==str.charAt(i+1)){
count++;
}
else{
//else append character with its count
sb.append(str.charAt(i)+""+count);
count=1; //reseting the counter to 1
}
}
//String representation of a StringBuilder object
System.out.println(sb.toString());
}
In the count=... line, lastIndexOf will not care about consecutive values, and will just give the last occurence.
For instance, in the string "ABBA", the substring would be the whole string.
Also, taking the length of the substring is equivalent to subtracting the two indexes.
I really think that you need a loop.
Here is an example :
public static String compress(String text) {
String result = "";
int index = 0;
while (index < text.length()) {
char c = text.charAt(index);
int count = count(text, index);
if (count == 1)
result += "" + c;
else
result += "" + count + c;
index += count;
}
return result;
}
public static int count(String text, int index) {
char c = text.charAt(index);
int i = 1;
while (index + i < text.length() && text.charAt(index + i) == c)
i++;
return i;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String test = "AAABBCCC";
System.out.println(compress(test));
}
Please try this one. This may help to print the count of characters which we pass on string format through console.
import java.util.*;
public class CountCharacterArray {
private static Scanner inp;
public static void main(String args[]) {
inp = new Scanner(System.in);
String str=inp.nextLine();
List<Character> arrlist = new ArrayList<Character>();
for(int i=0; i<str.length();i++){
arrlist.add(str.charAt(i));
}
for(int i=0; i<str.length();i++){
int freq = Collections.frequency(arrlist, str.charAt(i));
System.out.println("Frequency of "+ str.charAt(i)+ " is: "+freq);
}
}
}
Java's not my main language, hardly ever use it, but I wanted to give it a shot :]
Not even sure if your assignment requires a loop, but here's a regexp approach:
public static String compress_string(String inp) {
String compressed = "";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("([\\w])\\1*");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(inp);
while(matcher.find()) {
String group = matcher.group();
if (group.length() > 1) compressed += group.length() + "";
compressed += group.charAt(0);
}
return compressed;
}
This is just one more way of doing it.
public static String compressor(String raw) {
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
int counter = 0;
int length = raw.length();
int j = 0;
while (counter < length) {
j = 0;
while (counter + j < length && raw.charAt(counter + j) == raw.charAt(counter)) {
j++;
}
if (j > 1) {
builder.append(j);
}
builder.append(raw.charAt(counter));
counter += j;
}
return builder.toString();
}
The following can be used if you are looking for a basic solution. Iterate through the string with one element and after finding all the element occurrences, remove that character. So that it will not interfere in the next search.
public static void main(String[] args) {
String string = "aaabbbbbaccc";
int counter;
String result="";
int i=0;
while (i<string.length()){
counter=1;
for (int j=i+1;j<string.length();j++){
System.out.println("string length ="+string.length());
if (string.charAt(i) == string.charAt(j)){
counter++;
}
}
result = result+string.charAt(i)+counter;
string = string.replaceAll(String.valueOf(string.charAt(i)), "");
}
System.out.println("result is = "+result);
}
And the output will be :=
result is = a4b5c3
private String Comprimir(String input){
String output="";
Map<Character,Integer> map=new HashMap<Character,Integer>();
for(int i=0;i<input.length();i++){
Character character=input.charAt(i);
if(map.containsKey(character)){
map.put(character, map.get(character)+1);
}else
map.put(character, 1);
}
for (Entry<Character, Integer> entry : map.entrySet()) {
output+=entry.getValue()+""+entry.getKey().charValue();
}
return output;
}
One other simple way using Multiset of guava-
import java.util.Arrays;
import com.google.common.collect.HashMultiset;
import com.google.common.collect.Multiset;
import com.google.common.collect.Multiset.Entry;
public class WordSpit {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String output="";
Multiset<String> wordsMultiset = HashMultiset.create();
String[] words="AAABBBBCC".split("");
wordsMultiset.addAll(Arrays.asList(words));
for (Entry<String> string : wordsMultiset.entrySet()) {
if(!string.getElement().isEmpty())
output+=string.getCount()+""+string.getElement();
}
System.out.println(output);
}
}
consider the below Solution in which the String s1 identifies the unique characters that are available in a given String s (for loop 1), in the second for loop build a string s2 that contains unique character and no of times it is repeated by comparing string s1 with s.
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String s = "aaaabbccccdddeee";//given string
String s1 = ""; // string to identify how many unique letters are available in a string
String s2=""; //decompressed string will be appended to this string
int count=0;
for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++) {
if(s1.indexOf(s.charAt(i))<0) {
s1 = s1+s.charAt(i);
}
}
for(int i=0;i<s1.length();i++) {
for(int j=0;j<s.length();j++) {
if(s1.charAt(i)==s.charAt(j)) {
count++;
}
}
s2=s2+s1.charAt(i)+count;
count=0;
}
System.out.println(s2);
}
It may help you.
public class StringCompresser
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println(compress("AAABBBBCC"));
System.out.println(compress("AAABC"));
System.out.println(compress("A"));
System.out.println(compress("ABBDCC"));
System.out.println(compress("AZXYC"));
}
static String compress(String str)
{
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
char[] charArray = str.toCharArray();
int count = 1;
char lastChar = 0;
char nextChar = 0;
lastChar = charArray[0];
for (int i = 1; i < charArray.length; i++)
{
nextChar = charArray[i];
if (lastChar == nextChar)
{
count++;
}
else
{
stringBuilder.append(count).append(lastChar);
count = 1;
lastChar = nextChar;
}
}
stringBuilder.append(count).append(lastChar);
String compressed = stringBuilder.toString();
return compressed;
}
}
Output:
3A4B2C
3A1B1C
1A
1A2B1D2C
1A1Z1X1Y1C
The answers which used Map will not work for cases like aabbbccddabc as in that case the output should be a2b3c2d2a1b1c1.
In that case this implementation can be used :
private String compressString(String input) {
String output = "";
char[] arr = input.toCharArray();
Map<Character, Integer> myMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (i > 0 && arr[i] != arr[i - 1]) {
output = output + arr[i - 1] + myMap.get(arr[i - 1]);
myMap.put(arr[i - 1], 0);
}
if (myMap.containsKey(arr[i])) {
myMap.put(arr[i], myMap.get(arr[i]) + 1);
} else {
myMap.put(arr[i], 1);
}
}
for (Character c : myMap.keySet()) {
if (myMap.get(c) != 0) {
output = output + c + myMap.get(c);
}
}
return output;
}
O(n) approach
No need for hashing. The idea is to find the first Non-matching character.
The count of each character would be the difference in the indices of both characters.
for a detailed answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/55898810/7972621
The only catch is that we need to add a dummy letter so that the comparison for
the last character is possible.
private static String compress(String s){
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
int j = 0;
s = s + '#';
for(int i=1; i < s.length(); i++){
if(s.charAt(i) != s.charAt(j)){
result.append(i-j);
result.append(s.charAt(j));
j = i;
}
}
return result.toString();
}

This is a leet code problem 443. Most of the answers here uses StringBuilder or a HashMap, the actual problem statement is to solve using the input char array and in place array modification.
