Problem:
Given a string, if one or both of the first 2 chars is 'x', return the string without those 'x' chars, and otherwise return the string unchanged. This is a little harder than it looks.
withoutX2("xHi") → "Hi"
withoutX2("Hxi") → "Hi"
withoutX2("Hi") → "Hi"
Solution:
public String withoutX2(String str) {
String temp = "";
for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
if (i == 0 && str.charAt(i) != 'x')
temp += str.charAt(i);
else if (i == 1 && str.charAt(i) != 'x')
temp += str.charAt(i);
else if (i > 1)
temp += str.charAt(i);
}
return temp;
}
OMG another solution with a loop when is not supposed to? GG!
ReplyDeletepublic String withoutX2(String str) {
Deleteif(str.length()==0){
return str;
}
if(str.length()==1){
if(str.equals("x")){
return "";
}
else{
return str;
}
}
return str.substring(0,2).replaceAll("x","")+str.substring(2);
}
public String withoutX2(String str) {
ReplyDeleteString r=str;
if (str.length()>1 && str.charAt(1)=='x')
r=str.substring(0,1)+str.substring(2);
if (str.length()>0 && str.charAt(0)=='x')
r=r.substring(1);
return r;
}

DeleteTHANX bro
Deletepublic String withoutX2(String str){
ReplyDeleteif(str.length() > 1 && str.charAt(1) == 'x')
str = str.substring(0, 1) + str.substring(2);
if(str.length() > 0 && str.charAt(0) == 'x')
str = str.substring(1);
return str;
}
This is likely the solution the designer of the exercises wished to see. No loops, no use of StringBuilder, one return statement.
Deletepublic String without2(String str) {
Deleteif(str.length() > 1 && str.charAt(1) == 'x')
str = str.substring(0, 1) + str.substring(2);
if(str.length() > 0 && str.charAt(0) == 'x')
str = str.substring(1);
return str;
}
Here is a shorter solution:
ReplyDeletepublic String withoutX2(String str)

String word = "";
for(int i=0; i<str.length(); i++)
{
if((i==0||i==1) && str.charAt(i)=='x')
continue;
word += str.charAt(i);
}
return word;
}
// if want to know how not to solve it correctly

String temp ="";
for( i=0;i<str.length();i++){

ch ='_';
}
}
temp += ch;
}
return temp.replace("_","");

}
return str2.toString();
