Improve this question
I've been asked to write a code that adds elements to an array with a few conditions. I've searched all over StackOverflow to find out how to find an element in an array but all give me errors, so I'm guessing it's something wrong with my code and I can't figure out what. Any help is appreciated.
public class WordList
{
String [] words;
int count = 0;
int max = 2;
WordList()
{
words = new String[max];
this.words = words;
this.count = count;
}
public static void main (String[] args)
{
WordList w1 = new WordList();
System.out.println(w1.addWord("Dog"));
System.out.println(w1.addWord("Cat"));
System.out.println(w1.addWord("Fish"));
}
public int addWord(String newWord)
{
for(int i = 0; i < words.length; i++)
{
if(words.contains(newWord) == false && words.length < max)
{
words[i] = newWord;
}
else if(words.contains(newWord) == false && words.length == max)
{
max *= 2;
words[i] = newWord;
}
count = i + 1;
}
return count;
}
I think you could use Set instead of array.
public class WordList {
private final Set<String> words = new HashSet<>();
public int addWord(String word) {
if (word != null)
words.add(word);
return words.size();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
WordList w1 = new WordList();
System.out.println(w1.addWord("Dog"));
System.out.println(w1.addWord("Cat"));
System.out.println(w1.addWord("Fish"));
}
}
I think this is what you're trying to do. Regular arrays dont have an indexOf or contains method so you need to use Arrays (make sure you import it too)
public int addWord(String newWord)
{
List <String> myList = Arrays.asList(words);
for(int i = 0; i < words.length; i++)
{
if(myList.indexOf(newWord) == -1 && words.length < max)
{
words[i] = newWord;
}
else if(myList.indexOf(newWord) == -1 && words.length == max)
{
max *= 2;
words[i] = newWord;
}
count = i + 1;
}
return count;
}
In Any way you'll need to write your own method to find it. It you are not limited with memory - you can convert array to List and use .contains() method.
Arrays.asList(words).contains(newWord);
Otherwise you may use stream to find the element.
Arrays.stream(words).anyMatch(newWord::equals);
I think you are looking for a solution something like this, but this is using ArrayList and not Array. Arrays do not have default contains method and you would need to implement your own method.
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class WordList {
private static List<String> words = new ArrayList<>();
public void addWord(String word) {
if (!words.contains(word)) {
words.add(word);
}
}
public static List<String> getWords() {
return words;
}
public static void main(String... args) {
WordList instance = new WordList();
instance.addWord("Dog");
instance.addWord("Cat");
instance.addWord("Fish");
System.out.println(instance.getWords());
}
}
Error was in words.contains(newWord)
cannot find symbol symbol: method contains(String) location:
variable words of type String[]
It could resolve by change code -
Arrays.asList(words).contains(newWord) instead of words.contains(newWord).
Remember you will need to import java.util.Arrays
Full code -
import java.util.Arrays;

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

{
words[i] = newWord;
}
else if(Arrays.asList( words ).contains(newWord) == false && words.length == max)
{
max *= 2;
words[i] = newWord;
}
count = i + 1;
}
return count;
}
}
Hope it could help you.

Given A morse String eg. aet = ".- . -" if the spaces are removed it will become an ambiguous morse string ".-.-" which can represent "aet","eta","ent","etet" etc.
the problem is to find the no.of words that the morse string without spaces can represent irrespective of the meaning of the words. The constraint is that the new word which is formed should be the same size of the input i.e "aet" = "ent" and other words like "etet" should be discarded.
i implemented a recursive solution for some reason it is not working. below is my code and thinking of converting this to DP approach to increase time efficiency. Can some one help to point out the mistake in the below code and is DP a right approach to follow for this problem? Thanks in advance!!
EDIT 1 :- The program gives me an output but not the correct one. for ex. for the morse String representing aet = ".- . -" if given without any spaces to the program ".-.-" it should give an out put "3" i.e 3 words can be formed that is of the same size as the input including the input "aet","eta","ent" but it gives me an output "1". I think there is some thing wrong with the recursive calls.
The approach used here is to simply cut the morse string in a place where first valid morse code is encountered and the repeat the process with the rest of the string untill 3 such valid morse code are found and check whether whole morse string is consumed. if consumed increment the word count and repeat the process for different values of substring size(end variable in the below code).
I hope this helps!!.Tried my best to explain as clearly as I could.

EDIT 2 :- Thank you all for your Responses and Extremely sorry for the confusing code, will surely try to improve on writing neat and clear code. learnt a lot from your replies!!
And i also some how made the code work, the problem was I passed wrong argument which changed the state of the recursive calls. Instead of passing "tempCount-1" for the last argument in the last function call in the method "countPossibleWord" i passed "0" this altered the state. found this after running through the code manually for larger inputs. below is the corrected method
public static void countPossibleWord(String s,int inputSize,int start,int end,int tempCount){
if(start >= s.length() || end > s.length()){
return;
}
if(tempCount>inputSize){
return;
}
String sub = s.substring(start, end);
if(sub.length()>4){
return;
}
if(morseCode.get(sub)!=null){
tempCount++;
countPossibleWord(s,inputSize,end,end+1,tempCount);
}
else{
countPossibleWord(s,inputSize,start,end+1,tempCount);
}
if(tempCount == inputSize && end == s.length()){
count++;
}
countPossibleWord(s,inputSize,start,end+1,tempCount-1);
}
}
If you like to have a recursive function, you should be clear about your parameters (use as few as possible) as well as when to step down and when to go up again.
My solution would look something like
public static int countPossibleWord(String strMorse, String strAlpha, int inputSize) {
if (strMorse.length() > 0) { // still input to process
if (strAlpha.length() >= inputSize)
return 0; // String already has wrong size
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < morse.length; i++) { // try all morse codes
if (strMorse.startsWith(morse[i])) { // on the beginning of the given string
count += countPossibleWord(strMorse.substring(morse[i].length()), strAlpha+alpha[i], inputSize);
}
}
return count;
} else {
if( strAlpha.length() == inputSize ) {
System.out.println( strAlpha );
return 1; // one solution has been found
} else {
return 0; // String has wrong size
}
}
}
Your morse and alpha arrays need to be static variables for this to work.
Note that there is only one situation where the recursion will step down: when there is some input left and the size limit is not reached. Then it will check for the next possible letter in the loop.
All other cases will lead the recursion to go one step up again - and when going up, it will return the number of solutions found.
Call it like this:
System.out.println(countPossibleWord(morseString, "", input.length() ));
The fact that you use a class variable instead of the returned value of the recursive function makes it extremely unclear. Even for you as #Thomas Weller said. You should clarify the possible cases when a count one more letter. I deleted eclipse, hence I coded it in C, I hope I will still help you to understand the algo :(understand char* as string)
char morse[26][5] = {".-","-...","-.-.","-..",".","..-.","--.","....","..",".---","-.-",".-..","--","-.","---",
".--.","--.-",".-.","...","-","..-","...-",".--","-..-","-.--","--.."};
int countPossibleWord(char* s, int inputSize, int start, char* buffer, int sizeBuff){
if(start == inputSize){
if(sizeBuff == 0) return 1;
else return 0;
}
char buff[sizeBuff+2]; //
strncpy(buff, buffer, sizeBuff);//
buff[sizeBuff] = s[start]; // buff = buff+s[start]
buff[sizeBuff+1] = '\0'; //
for(int i = 0; i < 26; ++i){
//run the equivalent of your map to find a match
if(strcmp(buff, morse[i]) == 0)
return countPossibleWord(s, inputSize, start+1, "", 0) + countPossibleWord(s, inputSize, start+1, buff, sizeBuff+1);
}
return countPossibleWord(s, inputSize, start+1, buff, sizeBuff+1);
}
The problem with your code is, that you don't understand it any more, because it's not clean as described by Robert C. Martin. Compare your code to the following. This is certainly still not the cleanest, but I think you can understand what it does. Tell me if you don't.
Consider this main program:
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String morsetext = enterTextOnConsole();
MorseTable morseTable = new MorseTable();
MorseCode code = convertToMorseCodeWithoutSpaces(morsetext, morseTable);
List<String> guesses = getAllPossibleMeanings(code, morseTable);
List<String> guessesOfSameLength = filterForSameLength(morsetext, guesses);
printListOnConsole(guessesOfSameLength);
}
private static void printListOnConsole(List<String> guessesOfSameLength) {
for (String text : guessesOfSameLength) {
System.out.println(text);
}
}
private static List<String> filterForSameLength(String morsetext, List<String> guesses) {
List<String> guessesOfSameLength = new LinkedList<String>();
for (String guess : guesses) {
if (guess.length() == morsetext.length())
{
guessesOfSameLength.add(guess);
}
}
return guessesOfSameLength;
}
private static List<String> getAllPossibleMeanings(MorseCode code, MorseTable morseTable) {
MorseCodeGuesser guesser = new MorseCodeGuesser(morseTable);
List<String> guesses = guesser.guess(code);
return guesses;
}
private static MorseCode convertToMorseCodeWithoutSpaces(String morsetext, MorseTable morseTable) {
MorseCode code = new MorseCode(morseTable);
code.fromText(morsetext);
code.stripSpaces();
return code;
}
private static String enterTextOnConsole() {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
String text = scanner.next();
scanner.close();
return text;
}
}
and the following MorseTable class:
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class MorseTable {
private static final Map<String, String> morseTable;
private static int longestCode = -1;
static
{
morseTable = new HashMap<String, String>();
morseTable.put("a", ".-");
morseTable.put("b", "-...");
morseTable.put("c", "-.-.");
morseTable.put("e", ".");
morseTable.put("t", "-");
morseTable.put("n", "-.");
// TODO: add more codes
for (String code : morseTable.values()) {
longestCode = Math.max(longestCode, code.length());
}
}
public String getMorseCodeForCharacter(char c) throws IllegalArgumentException {
String characterString = ""+c;
if (morseTable.containsKey(characterString)) {
return morseTable.get(characterString);
}
else {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("No morse code for '"+characterString+"'.");
}
}
public int lengthOfLongestMorseCode() {
return longestCode;
}
public String getTextForMorseCode(String morseCode) throws IllegalArgumentException {
for (String key : morseTable.keySet()) {
if (morseTable.get(key).equals(morseCode)) {
return key;
}
}
throw new IllegalArgumentException("No character for morse code '"+morseCode+"'.");
}
}
and the MorseCode class
public class MorseCode {
public MorseCode(MorseTable morseTable)
{
_morseTable = morseTable;
}
final MorseTable _morseTable;
String morseCode = "";
public void fromText(String morsetext) {
for(int i=0; i<morsetext.length(); i++) {
char morseCharacter = morsetext.charAt(i);
morseCode += _morseTable.getMorseCodeForCharacter((morseCharacter));
morseCode += " "; // pause between characters
}
}
public void stripSpaces() {
morseCode = morseCode.replaceAll(" ", "");
}
public MorseCode substring(int begin, int end) {
MorseCode subcode = new MorseCode(_morseTable);
try{
subcode.morseCode = morseCode.substring(begin, end);
} catch(StringIndexOutOfBoundsException s) {
subcode.morseCode = "";
}
return subcode;
}
public MorseCode substring(int begin) {
return substring(begin, morseCode.length());
}
public String asPrintableString() {
return morseCode;
}
public boolean isEmpty() {
return morseCode.isEmpty();
}
}
and last not least, the MorseCodeGuesser
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;
public class MorseCodeGuesser {
private final MorseTable _morseTable;
public MorseCodeGuesser(MorseTable morseTable) {
_morseTable = morseTable;
}
public List<String> guess(MorseCode code) {
List<String> wordList = new LinkedList<String>();
if (code.isEmpty()) return wordList;
for(int firstCodeLength=1; firstCodeLength<=_morseTable.lengthOfLongestMorseCode(); firstCodeLength++) {
List<String> guesses = guess(code, firstCodeLength);
wordList.addAll(guesses);
}
return wordList;
}
private List<String> guess(MorseCode code, int firstCodeLength) {
MorseCode firstCode = code.substring(0, firstCodeLength);
String firstCharacter;
try{
firstCharacter = _morseTable.getTextForMorseCode(firstCode.asPrintableString());
} catch(IllegalArgumentException i) {
return new LinkedList<String>(); // no results for invalid code
}
MorseCode remainingCode = code.substring(firstCodeLength);
if (remainingCode.isEmpty()) {
List<String> result = new LinkedList<String>();
result.add(firstCharacter); // sole result if nothing is left
return result;
}
List<String> result = new LinkedList<String>();
List<String> remainingPossibilities = guess(remainingCode);
for (String possibility : remainingPossibilities) {
result.add(firstCharacter + possibility); // combined results
}
return result;
}
}
I have pasted my own solution to it. I have followed DFS and it is giving the correct answer for the given problem statement. Please ask if there are any queries.

dic = dict(list(zip(key,alpha)))
def morse_code(morse,count,res,char,length):
global dic
if count == length - 1:
if morse[char:] in dic:
res = res + 1
return res
word = ''
for i in range(char,len(morse)):
word = word + morse[i]
if word not in dic:

count = count - 1
return res
if __name__ = 'main'

print(result)
In my program, the user enters a string, and it first finds the largest mode of characters in the string. Next, my program is supposed to remove all duplicates of a character in a string, (user input: aabc, program prints: abc) which I'm not entirely certain on how to do. I can get it to remove duplicates from some strings, but not all. For example, when the user puts "aabc" it will print "abc", but if the user puts "aabbhh", it will print "abbhh." Also, before I added the removeDup method to my program, it would only print the maxMode once, but after I added the removeDup method, it began to print the maxMode twice. How do I keep it from printing it twice?
Note: I cannot convert the strings to an array.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class JavaApplication3 {
static class MyStrings {
String s;
void setMyStrings(String str) {
s = str;
}
int getMode() {
int i;
int j;
int count = 0;
int maxMode = 0, maxCount = 1;
for (i = 0; i< s.length(); i++) {
maxCount = count;
count = 0;
for (j = s.length()-1; j >= 0; j--) {
if (s.charAt(j) == s.charAt(i))
count++;
if (count > maxCount){
maxCount = count;
maxMode = i;
}
}
}
System.out.println(s.charAt(maxMode)+" = largest mode");
return maxMode;
}
String removeDup() {
getMode();
int i;
int j;
String rdup = "";
for (i = 0; i< s.length(); i++) {
int count = 1;
for (j = 0; j < rdup.length(); j++) {
if (s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j)){
count++;
}
}
if (count == 1){
rdup += s.charAt(i);
}
}
System.out.print(rdup);
System.out.println();
return rdup;
}
}
public static void main (String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
MyStrings setS = new MyStrings();
String s;
System.out.print("Enter string:");
s = in.nextLine();
setS.setMyStrings(s);
setS.getMode();
setS.removeDup();
}
}
Try this method...should work fine!
String removeDup()
{
getMode();
int i;
int j;
String rdup = "";
for (i = 0; i< s.length(); i++) {
int count = 1;
for (j = i+1; j < s.length(); j++) {
if (s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j)) {
count++;
}
}
if (count == 1){
rdup += s.charAt(i);
}
}
// System.out.print(rdup);
System.out.println();
return rdup;
}
Welcome to StackOverflow!
You're calling getMode() both outside and inside of removeDup(), which is why it's printing it twice.
In order to remove all duplicates, you'll have to call removeDup() over and over until all the duplicates are gone from your string. Right now you're only calling it once.
How might you do that? Think about how you're detecting duplicates, and use that as the end condition for a while loop or similar.
Happy coding!
Shouldn't this be an easier way? Also, i'm still learning.
import java.util.*;
public class First {
public static void main(String arg[])
{
Scanner sc= new Scanner(System.in);
StringBuilder s=new StringBuilder(sc.nextLine());
//String s=new String();
for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++){
String a=s.substring(i, i+1);
while(s.indexOf(a)!=s.lastIndexOf(a)){s.deleteCharAt(s.lastIndexOf(a));}
}
System.out.println(s.toString());
}
}
You can do this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str = new String("PINEAPPLE");
Set <Character> letters = new <Character>HashSet();
for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
letters.add(str.charAt(i));
}
System.out.println(letters);
}
I think an optimized version which supports ASCII codes can be like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(removeDups("*PqQpa abbBBaaAAzzK zUyz112235KKIIppP!!QpP^^*Www5W38".toCharArray()));
}
public static String removeDups(char []input){
long ocr1=0l,ocr2=0l,ocr3=0;
int index=0;
for(int i=0;i<input.length;i++){
int val=input[i]-(char)0;
long ocr=val<126?val<63?ocr1:ocr2:ocr3;
if((ocr& (1l<<val))==0){//not duplicate
input[index]=input[i];
index++;
}
if(val<63)
ocr1|=(1l<<val);
else if(val<126)
ocr2|=(1l<<val);
else
ocr3|=(1l<<val);
}
return new String(input,0,index);
}
please keep in mind that each of orc(s) represent a mapping of a range of ASCII characters and each java long variable can grow as big as (2^63) and since we have 128 characters in ASCII so we need three ocr(s) which basically maps the occurrences of the character to a long number.
ocr1: (char)0 to (char)62
ocr2: (char)63 to (char)125
ocr3: (char)126 to (char)128
Now if a duplicate was found the
(ocr& (1l<<val))
will be greater than zero and we skip that char and finally we can create a new string with the size of index which shows last non duplicate items index.
You can define more orc(s) and support other character-sets if you want.
Can use HashSet as well as normal for loops:
public class RemoveDupliBuffer
{
public static String checkDuplicateNoHash(String myStr)
{
if(myStr == null)
return null;
if(myStr.length() <= 1)
return myStr;
char[] myStrChar = myStr.toCharArray();
HashSet myHash = new HashSet(myStrChar.length);
myStr = "";
for(int i=0; i < myStrChar.length ; i++)
{
if(! myHash.add(myStrChar[i]))
{
}else{
myStr += myStrChar[i];
}
}
return myStr;
}
public static String checkDuplicateNo(String myStr)
{
// null check
if (myStr == null)
return null;
if (myStr.length() <= 1)
return myStr;
char[] myChar = myStr.toCharArray();
myStr = "";
int tail = 0;
int j = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < myChar.length; i++)
{
for (j = 0; j < tail; j++)
{
if (myChar[i] == myChar[j])
{
break;
}
}
if (j == tail)
{
myStr += myChar[i];
tail++;
}
}
return myStr;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String myStr = "This is your String";
myStr = checkDuplicateNo(myStr);
System.out.println(myStr);
}
Try this simple answer- works well for simple character string accepted as user input:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class string_duplicate_char {
String final_string = "";
public void inputString() {
//accept string input from user
Scanner user_input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a String to remove duplicate Characters : \t");
String input = user_input.next();
user_input.close();
//convert string to char array
char[] StringArray = input.toCharArray();
int StringArray_length = StringArray.length;
if (StringArray_length < 2) {
System.out.println("\nThe string with no duplicates is: "
+ StringArray[1] + "\n");
} else {
//iterate over all elements in the array
for (int i = 0; i < StringArray_length; i++) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < StringArray_length; j++) {
if (StringArray[i] == StringArray[j]) {
int temp = j;//set duplicate element index
//delete the duplicate element by copying the adjacent elements by one place
for (int k = temp; k < StringArray_length - 1; k++) {
StringArray[k] = StringArray[k + 1];
}
j++;
StringArray_length--;//reduce char array length
}
}
}
}
System.out.println("\nThe string with no duplicates is: \t");
//print the resultant string with no duplicates
for (int x = 0; x < StringArray_length; x++) {
String temp= new StringBuilder().append(StringArray[x]).toString();
final_string=final_string+temp;
}
System.out.println(final_string);
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
string_duplicate_char object = new string_duplicate_char();
object.inputString();
}
}
Another easy solution to clip the duplicate elements in a string using HashSet and ArrayList :
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class sample_work {
public static void main(String args[]) {
String input = "";
System.out.println("Enter string to remove duplicates: \t");
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
input = in.next();
in.close();
ArrayList<Character> String_array = new ArrayList<Character>();
for (char element : input.toCharArray()) {
String_array.add(element);
}
HashSet<Character> charset = new HashSet<Character>();
int array_len = String_array.size();
System.out.println("\nLength of array = " + array_len);
if (String_array != null && array_len > 0) {
Iterator<Character> itr = String_array.iterator();
while (itr.hasNext()) {
Character c = (Character) itr.next();
if (charset.add(c)) {
} else {
itr.remove();
array_len--;
}
}
}
System.out.println("\nThe new string with no duplicates: \t");
for (int i = 0; i < array_len; i++) {
System.out.println(String_array.get(i).toString());
}
}
}
your can use this simple code and understand how to remove duplicates values from string.I think this is the simplest way to understand this problem.
class RemoveDup
{
static int l;
public String dup(String str)
{
l=str.length();
System.out.println("length"+l);
char[] c=str.toCharArray();
for(int i=0;i<l;i++)
{
for(int j=0;j<l;j++)
{
if(i!=j)
{
if(c[i]==c[j])
{
l--;
for(int k=j;k<l;k++)
{
c[k]=c[k+1];
}
j--;
}
}
}
}
System.out.println("after concatination lenght:"+l);
StringBuilder sd=new StringBuilder();
for(int i=0;i<l;i++)
{
sd.append(c[i]);
}
str=sd.toString();
return str;
}
public static void main(String[] ar)
{
RemoveDup obj=new RemoveDup();
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
String st,t;
System.out.println("enter name:");
st=sc.nextLine();
sc.close();
t=obj.dup(st);
System.out.println(t);
}
}

i wrote this program. Am using 2 char arrays instead. You can define the number of duplicate chars you want to eliminate from the original string and also shows the number of occurances of each character in the string.
public String removeMultipleOcuranceOfChar(String string, int numberOfChars){
char[] word1 = string.toCharArray();
char[] word2 = string.toCharArray();
int count=0;
StringBuilder builderNoDups = new StringBuilder();
StringBuilder builderDups = new StringBuilder();
for(char x: word1){
for(char y : word2){
if (x==y){
count++;
}//end if
}//end inner loop
System.out.println(x + " occurance: " + count );
if (count ==numberOfChars){
builderNoDups.append(x);
}else{
builderDups.append(x);
}//end if else
count = 0;
}//end outer loop
return String.format("Number of identical chars to be in or out of input string: "
+ "%d\nOriginal word: %s\nWith only %d identical chars: %s\n"
+ "without %d identical chars: %s",
numberOfChars,string,numberOfChars, builderNoDups.toString(),numberOfChars,builderDups.toString());
}
Try this simple solution for REMOVING DUPLICATE CHARACTERS/LETTERS FROM GIVEN STRING
import java.util.Scanner;
public class RemoveDuplicateLetters {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scn=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("enter a String:");
String s=scn.nextLine();
String ans="";
while(s.length()>0)
{
char ch = s.charAt(0);
ans+= ch;
s = s.replace(ch+"",""); //Replacing all occurrence of the current character by a spaces
}
System.out.println("after removing all duplicate letters:"+ans);
}
}
In Java 8 we can do that using
private void removeduplicatecharactersfromstring() {
String myString = "aabcd eeffff ghjkjkl";
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
Arrays.asList(myString.split(" "))
.forEach(s -> {
builder.append(Stream.of(s.split(""))
.distinct().collect(Collectors.joining()).concat(" "));
});
System.out.println(builder); // abcd ef ghjkl
}
