Program Plan Intro

String class:

  • The “String” class provides a number of methods that examines for a string inside of a string.
  • The term “substring” refers to a string that denotes another string’s part.
  • The “startsWith” method would determine whether calling string of object begins with a specific substring.
    • The method returns “true” if string begins with specified substring, it returns “false” otherwise.
  • The “endsWith” method would determine whether calling string would end with a specified substring.
    • The method returns “true” if string ends with specified substring, it returns “false” otherwise.
  • The “regionMatches” method would determine whether specified regions for two strings match.
    • The first argument of this method can be “true” or “false” that indicates whether a case-insensitive comparison could be performed.

StringBuilder class:

  • The “StringBuilder” class is same as “String” class except that contents of “StringBuilder” objects could be changed.
  • It provides several methods that “String” class does not have.
  • The “append” method accepts an argument that might be a primitive data type.
    • It appends a string representation to contents of calling object.
  • The “insert” method accepts two arguments, an integer that specifies position in string of calling object as well as value to be inserted.
  • The “replace” method replaces the occurrences of one character with another character.
  • The “toString” method converts a “StringBuilder” object in to a regular string.

Java code Tom loves strings very much but he loves palindromic strings even more. Today he found an old rope in his garage. The string is so old that some of its characters have disappeared and cannot be identified now. Blurred letters in the character unit are represented by '.' and the other letters are Latin letters of the word ['a' - 'z']. The palindrome tom has decided to build a very small palindrome according to the dictionary by filling in each diminished letter ('.') In Latin with a lowercase letter. Can you help her finish the job using C++ programming language? Input 1 cb.bc Output cbabc
String and StringBuffer both represent String objects. Can we compare String and StringBuffer in Java?
Write in C Language Spilitology Yosef is a peculiar fellow. He introduced the idea to study a string by splitting it into two, and he called it Splitology. Why split a string? We do not know. Didn’t we say that Yosef is a weird one? Yosef is interested in one particular type of string, a palindrome. A palindrome is a string that is the same for both forwards and backwards. Example of palindrome strings are “ada”, “taat”, and “radar”. On the other hand, string such as “taman” is not a palindrome; notice that “taman” becomes “namat” if read backwardsand it’s not the same as “taman”. As the idea of Splitology is still new, Yosef is investigating whether a string can be split into two non-empty strings such that each string is a palindrome. For example, the string “malamini” can be split into “malam” and “ini” while both of them are palindrome. Another example is “ababab”. It can be split into “aba” and “bab”, and both of them are palindrome. Note that “ababab” can also be split into…
