Here's how the function modify_string() can be implemented step by step:

1. Replace every letter with its adjacent letter: Shift the alphabet by one. For 'z', it becomes 'a', and for
other letters, just increment them by one.

2. Capitalize every vowel in the new string: After shifting, convert vowels ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u') into
uppercase. Keep other letters and special characters unchanged.

Here’s the complete implementation of the modify_string() method in Java:

java

Copy code

class Solution {

public String modify_string(String inp_string) {

StringBuilder mod_string = new StringBuilder();

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

char ch = inp_string.charAt(i);

// Check if character is a letter

if (Character.isLetter(ch)) {

// Shift the character by 1

if (ch == 'z') {

ch = 'a';

} else if (ch == 'Z') {

ch = 'A';

} else {

ch = (char) (ch + 1);

}
 // Capitalize vowels

if (ch == 'a' || ch == 'e' || ch == 'i' || ch == 'o' || ch == 'u') {

ch = Character.toUpperCase(ch);

// Append modified character to the result string

mod_string.append(ch);

return mod_string.toString();

Explanation:

1. Iterate over the input string: Using a for loop, we check each character.

2. Shift letters: If it's a letter, we increment its ASCII value. If it’s ‘z’ or ‘Z’, wrap it to ‘a’ or ‘A’,
respectively.

3. Capitalize vowels: After shifting, if the character is a vowel, it is converted to uppercase.

4. Special characters: They remain unchanged as the check for letters skips non-letter characters.

5. StringBuilder: Used to construct the modified string efficiently.

Example:

For the input inp_string = "genius student", the steps would be:

 Shift: "hfOjvt tUvEfOU"

 Capitalize vowels: "hfOjvt tUvEfOU"

Output: "hfOjvt tUvEfOU"

To improve the performance of the solution, we can make the following optimizations:

1. Direct replacement: Instead of using Character.isLetter and multiple conditions, we directly handle
lowercase and uppercase alphabetic characters. We can calculate their shifted values more efficiently
using arithmetic operations.

2. StringBuilder: We already use StringBuilder which is more efficient for string manipulation. This
helps reduce the overhead of string concatenation.

Here’s the optimized version of the code:

java

Copy code

class Solution {

public String modify_string(String inp_string) {

StringBuilder mod_string = new StringBuilder();

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

char ch = inp_string.charAt(i);

// Check if character is a lowercase letter

if (ch >= 'a' && ch <= 'z') {

// Shift character, wrap around for 'z'

ch = (ch == 'z') ? 'a' : (char) (ch + 1);

// Capitalize if it's a vowel

if (ch == 'a' || ch == 'e' || ch == 'i' || ch == 'o' || ch == 'u') {

ch = Character.toUpperCase(ch);

// Check if character is an uppercase letter

else if (ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z') {

// Shift character, wrap around for 'Z'

ch = (ch == 'Z') ? 'A' : (char) (ch + 1);

}
 // Append modified character to result string

mod_string.append(ch);

return mod_string.toString();

Explanation of Changes:

1. Efficient Character Check: Instead of using Character.isLetter() which checks a wide range of
possibilities, we directly compare the character to see if it's within the ranges of 'a' to 'z' or 'A' to 'Z'.
This eliminates unnecessary condition checks.

2. Vowel Handling: We handle the vowel capitalization immediately after shifting the character, using a
simple conditional check for lowercase vowels.

3. StringBuilder: The usage of StringBuilder ensures that string manipulation is handled efficiently
without recreating new strings on every modification.

Performance Gains:

 Reduced the number of checks performed by simplifying conditions for character replacement.

 Streamlined character shifting and vowel capitalization to avoid redundant operations.

Example:

For inp_string = "genius student", the output will be:

Copy code

hfOjvt tUvEfOU

This should resolve the performance issue while keeping the logic correct.

the function countthestring() accepts a parameter string inp_string. complete the following countthestring()
by returning the number of characters in the string in integer format . example: input: inp_string=hello
output: 5 class Solution{ public int countthestring(String inp_string){ int string_length=0; //Write your code
here without removing the exisitng code //the variable inp_string contains the input //the variable
string_length should contain the output return string_length; } }

ChatGPT said:

To implement the countthestring() function, we can use Java's built-in method to determine the length of the
string. Specifically, the String.length() method returns the number of characters in the string.
Here's the completed function:

java

Copy code

class Solution {

public int countthestring(String inp_string) {

// Get the length of the input string using the built-in length() method

int string_length = inp_string.length();

// Return the length of the string

return string_length;

Explanation:

1. inp_string.length(): This method returns the number of characters in the input string inp_string. It is
a built-in method in Java to determine the string length.

2. No additional operations: The code directly computes and returns the length without extra
processing, making it efficient.

Example:

For the input inp_string = "hello", the output will be:

Copy code

This approach is efficient and concise, and it ensures that the function returns the correct length of any input
string.

the function removespaces() accepts parameter string inp_string. complete the function removespace() by
returning the string with spaces removed in the string format. input: inp_string=good day output: goodday
class Solution{ public String removespaces(String inp_string){ String space_removed_string="null"; //Write
your code here //where inp_string contains the input and result should contain the output return
space_removed_string; } }

ChatGPT said:

To implement the removespaces() function, we can use the String.replace() method to remove all spaces
from the input string. The replace() method allows us to replace all occurrences of one character (in this
case, spaces ' ') with another (an empty string "").

Here's the completed function:

java

Copy code

class Solution {

public String removespaces(String inp_string) {

// Remove all spaces from the input string using replace() method

String space_removed_string = inp_string.replace(" ", "");

// Return the string with spaces removed

return space_removed_string;

Explanation:

1. inp_string.replace(" ", ""): This method replaces all spaces (' ') in the input string with an empty
string (""), effectively removing them.

2. Return the result: After removing spaces, the string space_removed_string is returned.

Example:

For the input inp_string = "good day", the output will be:

Copy code

goodday

This approach is straightforward and leverages built-in string manipulation functions for efficient space
removal.

ChatGPT said:

If the code is taking too long to execute, we can try a more efficient approach. Although the replace()
method should work efficiently, an alternative approach that builds the new string manually, without spaces,
might help if you're seeing performance issues. Using StringBuilder to append non-space characters is more
efficient than repeatedly creating new strings.

Here's an optimized version of the code:

java

Copy code

class Solution {

public String removespaces(String inp_string) {

StringBuilder space_removed_string = new StringBuilder();

// Iterate through the input string and append non-space characters

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

char ch = inp_string.charAt(i);

if (ch != ' ') {

space_removed_string.append(ch);

// Convert StringBuilder back to a string and return

return space_removed_string.toString();

Explanation of Optimization:

1. StringBuilder: Instead of using replace(), we manually build the new string without spaces using
StringBuilder, which avoids creating multiple intermediate strings, reducing memory usage and
improving performance.

2. Iterate once: We iterate over the input string only once, appending characters that are not spaces,
resulting in an efficient O(n) solution where n is the length of the string.

Example:

For inp_string = "good day", the output will be:

Copy code

goodday

This version should execute faster, especially for larger input strings, since StringBuilder is optimized for string
concatenation and minimizes overhead.
