Java > String-1 > atFirst (CodingBat Solution)

Problem:

Given a string, return a string length 2 made of its first 2 chars. If the string length is less than 2, use '@' for the missing chars.

atFirst("hello") → "he"
atFirst("hi") → "hi"
atFirst("h") → "h@"


Solution:

public String atFirst(String str) {
  if (str.length() >= 2)
    return str.substring(0,2);
  else if (str.length() == 1)
    return str + "@";
  else
    return "@@";
}

    if(str.length()<2)

    String s = str.substring(0,2);
    return s;
