Write a Java program to count the letters, spaces, numbers and other
characters of an input string.
java
SOURCE CODE
import java.util.Scanner;
public class CharacterCounter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a scanner object to get user input
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
// Prompt the user to enter a string
System.out.print("Enter a string: ");
String input = scanner.nextLine();
// Initialize counters for letters, spaces, numbers, and other characters
int letterCount = 0;
int spaceCount = 0;
int numberCount = 0;
int otherCount = 0;
// Loop through each character in the input string
for (int i = 0; i < input.length(); i++) {
char ch = input.charAt(i);
// Check if the character is a letter
if (Character.isLetter(ch)) {
letterCount++;
}
// Check if the character is a space
else if (Character.isSpaceChar(ch)) {
spaceCount++;
}
// Check if the character is a number
else if (Character.isDigit(ch)) {
numberCount++;
}
// If it's not a letter, space, or number, it's an "other" character
else {
otherCount++;
}
}
// Print out the results
System.out.println("Letters: " + letterCount);
System.out.println("Spaces: " + spaceCount);
System.out.println("Numbers: " + numberCount);
System.out.println("Other characters: " + otherCount);
}
}
How the program works:
1. The user is prompted to input a string.
2. The program then iterates through each character of the string
using a loop.
3. For each character:
oIt checks if the character is a letter using Character.isLetter().
oIt checks if the character is a space using
Character.isSpaceChar().
o It checks if the character is a digit using Character.isDigit().
o If the character is none of the above, it is classified as "other".
4. Finally, the counts for letters, spaces, numbers, and other
characters are printed.
Sample Output:
yaml
SOURCE CODE
Enter a string: Hello World 123!
Letters: 10
Spaces: 2
Numbers: 3
Other characters: 1
Implement a Java function that calculates the sum of digits for a given
char array consisting of the digits '0' to '9'. The function should return the
digit sum as a long value.
java
SOURCE code
public class DigitSumCalculator {
public static long calculateDigitSum(char[] digitArray) {
long sum = 0;
// Loop through each character in the char array
for (char ch : digitArray) {
// Check if the character is a digit (between '0' and '9')
if (ch >= '0' && ch <= '9') {
// Convert the char to its numeric value and add it to the sum
sum += ch - '0';
} else {
System.out.println("Invalid character found: " + ch);
}
}
return sum;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Example char array consisting of digits
char[] digits = {'1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '0'};
// Calculate and print the sum of digits
long result = calculateDigitSum(digits);
System.out.println("The sum of the digits is: " + result);
}
}
Explanation:
1. Function Definition:
o The function calculateDigitSum() takes a char[] (char array) as
input.
o It uses a loop to iterate through each character in the array.
o For each character, it checks if the character is between '0'
and '9' using simple character comparison.
o If the character is a valid digit, it converts it to its numeric
value by subtracting '0' from the character (which gives the
corresponding numeric value of the digit).
o The result is accumulated in the sum variable, which is of type
long to handle large sums.
2. In the main() method:
o An example char[] array is created with the digits '1' to '9' and
'0'.
o The calculateDigitSum() function is called with the array, and the
result is printed.
Sample Output:
python
Copy code
The sum of the digits is: 45
Find the smallest and largest element from the array
public class FindMinMax {
public static void findMinMax(int[] array) {
// Initialize variables to store the smallest and largest element
int smallest = array[0];
int largest = array[0];
// Iterate through the array to find the smallest and largest elements
for (int i = 1; i < array.length; i++) {
if (array[i] < smallest) {
smallest = array[i];
}
if (array[i] > largest) {
largest = array[i];
}
}
// Print the results
System.out.println("Smallest element: " + smallest);
System.out.println("Largest element: " + largest);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Example array
int[] array = {3, 56, 7, 89, 12, 5, -2, 18};
// Call the function to find and print the smallest and largest elements
findMinMax(array);
}
}
Explanation:
1. findMinMax Function:
o This function accepts an integer array as an argument.
o We initialize smallest and largest with the first element of the
array.
o The program loops through the array from the second element
onward. For each element:
If the element is smaller than the current smallest, we
update smallest.
If the element is larger than the current largest, we
update largest.
o After completing the loop, the smallest and largest elements
are printed.
2. In the main() method:
o An example array {3, 56, 7, 89, 12, 5, -2, 18} is used.
o The findMinMax function is called to find and display the
smallest and largest elements.
Sample Output:
yaml
Copy code
Smallest element: -2
Largest element: 89
Explanation of Output:
The smallest element in the array {3, 56, 7, 89, 12, 5, -2, 18} is -2.
The largest element is 89.
This program will work with any integer array and correctly find the
smallest and largest values. Let me know if you'd like further
modifications!
