Problem:
Given two strings, append them together (known as "concatenation") and return the result. However, if the strings are different lengths, omit chars from the longer string so it is the same length as the shorter string. So "Hello" and "Hi" yield "loHi". The strings may be any length.
minCat("Hello", "Hi") → "loHi"
minCat("Hello", "java") → "ellojava"
minCat("java", "Hello") → "javaello"
Solution:
public String minCat(String a, String b) {
if (a.length() == b.length())
return a+b;
if (a.length() > b.length()){
int diff = a.length() - b.length();
return a.substring(diff, a.length()) + b;
} else {
int diff = b.length() - a.length();
return a + b.substring(diff, b.length());
}
}
public String minCat(String a, String b) {
ReplyDeleteint lengthA = a.length();
int lengthB = b.length();
if (lengthA>lengthB) {
//return a.substring(b.length())+b;
a = a.substring(lengthA-lengthB);
}
else if (lengthB>lengthA) {
b = b.substring(lengthB-lengthA);
}
return a.concat(b);
}
public String minCat(String a, String b) {
ReplyDeleteif(a.length() > b.length())
return a.substring(a.length()-b.length()) + b;
else if(a.length() < b.length())
return a + b.substring(b.length()-a.length());
return a.substring(a.length()-2) + b;
}
public String minCat(String a, String b) {
ReplyDeleteint aLen = a.length();
int bLen = b.length();
if(aLen>bLen && aLen != 0 && bLen != 0)
return a.substring(aLen-bLen,aLen)+b;
else if(bLen>aLen && aLen != 0 && bLen != 0)
return a+b.substring(bLen-aLen,bLen);
else return "";
}
public String minCat(String a, String b) {
ReplyDeleteString result="";
if(a.length()<b.length()){
result+= a+b.substring(b.length()-a.length(),b.length());
}
if(b.length()<a.length()){
result+= a.substring(a.length()-b.length(),a.length())+b;
}
if(a.length()==b.length()){
result+= a+b;
}
return result;
}
public String minCat(String a, String b) {
ReplyDeleteif(a.length() > b.length())
{
return a.substring(a.length()-b.length(),a.length())+b;
}
else
{

}
}
public String minCat(String a, String b) {

}
I just saw we had the same approach! Lol, this solution is so much shorter and easier to follow.
