Advanced String Methods Practice

Paper in Java
Exercise 1: Parsing and Validating Complex Input Data
1. Write a Java program that processes a string representing a product record in the format
'product_name, price, quantity' (e.g., 'Laptop, 1200.50, 3').
- Use String.split() and String.trim() to extract the product name, price, and quantity
from the string.
- Validate if the price is a valid decimal number and if the quantity is a positive integer.
If either of these is invalid, print an error message.

2. After validation, calculate the total value of the product (price * quantity) and print
the result.

**Question:** How can you use String methods to parse complex input data? What
challenges might arise when validating numerical values in a string format? How can you
improve the program to handle different data formats (e.g., currency symbols, commas)?

Exercise 2: Manipulating and Formatting Date Strings


1. Write a Java program that takes a date in the format 'yyyy-MM-dd' (e.g., '2025-12-25')
and formats it into the format 'dd/MM/yyyy' using String methods.
- After formatting, print the date in both the original and formatted versions.

2. Modify the program to calculate the number of days between two dates. Use String
manipulation to extract the day, month, and year values from the strings and calculate the
difference.

**Question:** How can String methods be used to parse and reformat date strings?
What potential issues arise when performing date calculations, and how can they be
avoided? How can you extend this to support more date formats?

Exercise 3: Advanced String Search and Transformation


1. Write a Java program that takes a text input and finds the occurrences of a specific word
in the text using String.indexOf() and String.substring().
- After finding the word, replace each occurrence with a synonym using String.replace().

2. Modify the program to handle case insensitivity by converting both the text and the
word to lowercase before searching and replacing.
**Question:** How do you perform case-insensitive string searches and
transformations efficiently? What challenges might you face when dealing with overlapping
substrings, and how can you overcome them?

Exercise 4: String Method Chaining for Complex Manipulations


1. Write a Java program that takes a list of product names (e.g., 'product1, product2,
product3') and performs the following operations:
- Remove any leading/trailing spaces from each product name using String.trim().
- Convert all names to uppercase using String.toUpperCase().
- Replace any occurrences of a specific substring (e.g., 'product' -> 'item') using
String.replace().

2. After performing the transformations, join the names into a single string separated by
commas and print the result.

**Question:** How can you chain multiple String methods to perform complex
transformations? What are the best practices for handling string manipulations in real-
world applications with multiple requirements?

Exercise 5: Extracting and Transforming Nested Data in Strings


1. Write a Java program that parses a complex string containing nested data (e.g., 'name:
John, age: 30, address: {city: New York, postalCode: 10001}').
- Use String.split(), String.indexOf(), and String.substring() to extract the name, age, and
address details.

2. After extracting the data, manipulate it by transforming the name to uppercase,


calculating the age in months, and formatting the address by capitalizing the city name and
postal code.

**Question:** How can you extract and manipulate nested data within a string? What
challenges can arise when working with structured strings, and how can you make the
program more flexible and robust?

Exercise 6: String Manipulation for Text Analysis


1. Write a Java program that performs text analysis on a given paragraph (e.g., 'Java is a
high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language. Java is popular.').
- Count the number of occurrences of the word 'Java' in the text.
- Replace all instances of 'Java' with a different word (e.g., 'Python') using
String.replace().
2. Additionally, calculate the average length of the words in the paragraph by splitting
the text into words and finding the total length of all words.

**Question:** How can you use String methods to perform text analysis and
transformations? What are the best approaches for counting word occurrences and
calculating average word length in a text? How can you extend the program to handle more
complex text structures, such as sentences with punctuation?
