So, I am very new at coding but have a college assignment to create a Word Manipulator. I am supposed to get a string and an INT from the user and invert every Nth word, according to the int input.
I am following steps and am stuck with this error at line 38 (the start of my last FOR LOOP). The compiler is giving me an Not an Statement Error in this line but I cant see where I went wrong.
Could someone gimme a light, please?
ps: I am not allowed to use Token or inverse().
import java.util.Scanner;
public class assignment3 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// BOTH INPUTS WERE TAKEN
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
String stringInput;
int intInput;
System.out.println("Please enter a sentence");
stringInput = input.nextLine();
System.out.println("Please enter an integer from 1 to 10. \n We will invert every word in that position for you!");
intInput = input.nextInt();
int counter = 1;
// ALL CHARS NOW ARE LOWERCASE
String lowerCaseVersion = stringInput.toLowerCase();
// SPLIT THE STRING INTO ARRAY OF WORDS
String [] arrayOfWords = null;
String delimiter = " ";
arrayOfWords = lowerCaseVersion.split(delimiter);
for(int i=0; i< arrayOfWords.length; i++){
System.out.println(arrayOfWords[i]);
// THIS RETURNS AN ARRAY WITH ALL THE WORDS FROM THE INPUT
}
// IF THE INTEGER INPUT IS BIGGER THAN THE STRING.LENGTH, OUTPUT A MESSAGE
// THIS PART IS WORKING BUT I MIGHT WANT TO PUT IT IN A LOOP AND ASK FOR INPUT AGAIN
if (intInput > arrayOfWords.length){
System.out.println("There are not enough words in your sentence!");
}
// NOW I NEED TO REVERSE EVERY NTH WORD BASED ON THE USER INPUT
//THIS IS WHERE THE ERROR OCCURS
for(int i=(intInput-1); i<arrayOfWords.length; (i+intInput)){
char invertedWord[] = new char[arrayOfWords.length()];
for(int i=0; i < arrayOfWords.length();i++){
ch[i]=arrayOfWords.charAt(i);
}
for(int i=s.length()-1;i>=0;i--){
System.out.print(invertedWord[i]);
}
}
}
}
(i+intInput) isn't a statement. That's like saying 12. Perhaps you mean i=i+intInput or i+=intInput which assigns a value to a variable
well, for one thing, i dont see "s" (from s.length()) initiated anywhere in your code.

I am learning java program. I have a question to solve . the question is
enter the no . of people:
enter the product_name, price, stock_available:
total amount is price * no. of people
if the stock available is less than the no of people the print value 0
Example:
**input:**
no . of people : 3
product_name, price, stock_available: book, 100, 3
**output:** 300
public class Product {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the no . of people:");
int people=sc.nextInt();
String[] string = new String [3];
System.out.println("Enter the product_name, price, quantity_available:");
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
string[i] = sc.nextLine();
}
int quantity=Integer.parseInt(string[2]);
int price=Integer.parseInt(string[1]);
if(people<=quantity) {
System.out.println("Total amout is:"+(price*people));
}
else
{
System.out.println("value is "+0);
}
}
}
console error:
Enter the no . of people:
3
Enter the product_name, price, quantity_available:
book
30
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "book"
How to solve this error and how to do better way using oops concept ?
For Loop I always prefer to read input using next() .
Using next() will only return what comes before the delimiter (defaults to whitespace). nextLine() automatically moves the scanner down after returning the current line.
As you were using sc.nextLine() this may one reason you were getting java.lang.NumberFormatException.
Try as sc.next(); to read your input
Your problem is you are using :
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
string[i] = sc.nextLine();
}
this sc.nextLine() while taking input. Now the problem is sc.nextLine() reads a line until '\n' or enter is encountered. Now, for the first cycle in for loop it it putting a '\n' in the buffer. Because nextLine() stop taking input while '\n' encountered. So, In the next cycle the value of string[1] = '\n'. And when you try to parse this to an Integer then an error occurs. Because this is not an Integer.
Try this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the no . of people:");
int people = sc.nextInt();
String[] string = new String [3];
System.out.println("Enter the product_name, price, quantity_available:");
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
string[i] = sc.next();
}
int price = Integer.parseInt(string[1]);
int quantity = Integer.parseInt(string[2]);
if(people <= quantity) {
System.out.println("Total amount is: "+ (price*people));
}
else
{
System.out.println("value is: "+0);
}
}
You can use an extra sc.nextLine() just before the loop...
sc.nextLine() ----> add this line
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
string[i] = sc.nextLine();
}
when you press enter after getting the value of people... your string[] array takes a value in its 0 index position. So the nextLine scans only 2 values from the console and then throws an exception.
On that time your string[] values are = {"", "NAME", "PRICE"}
And you are trying to parse a string value (NAME) to int
According to your input style, your code does not serve your purpose.
Problem:
Case 1: You tried to input something like:
product_name, price, stock_available: book, 100, 3
But in your code, using for loop you tried to get 3 string values.
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
string[i] = sc.nextLine();
}
So, after first input, when you press enter without any input, it throws java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: ""
Case 2: nextLine() scanner past the current line and returns the input that was skipped. This method returns the rest of the current line, excluding any line separator at the end. The position is set to the beginning of the next line.
Since this method continues to search through the input looking for a line separator, it may buffer all of the input searching for the line to skip if no line separators are present. And this is the reason, you may get this exception.
when the loop executes, string[0]'s value will be ""/blank string, which it gets from the buffered line separator. string[1]'s value will be your first string input(product_name).
so, when you tried to parse it as int, it threw number format exception.
Solution:
Case 1. If you want to take input in one line then, do not use for loop. Get input as a string and parse it to get your values.
String[] string = new String[3];
String inputString = null;System.out.println("Enter the product_name, price, quantity_available:");
inputString=sc.next();
string=inputString.split(",");
String product = string[0];
int quantity = Integer.parseInt(string[2]);
int price=Integer.parseInt(string[1]);
Case 2. If you do not solve the buffered line separator issue, then you should use next() method to take input.
This is very simple application. So, oop concept is not necessary for the current context.
I cannot get out of while loop.
I do not why sc.hasNextInt() does not return false after last read number.
Should I use another method or is there a mistake in my code?
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Creating an array by user keyboard input
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Length of array: ");
int[] numbers = new int[sc.nextInt()];
System.out.printf("Type in integer elements of array ", numbers.length);
int index = 0;
**while ( sc.hasNextInt()) {**
numbers[index++] = sc.nextInt();
}
// created method for printing arrays
printArray(numbers);
sc.close();
}
Do the following:
Use the input length as the end of the loop.
// Creating an array by user keyboard input
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Length of array: ");
int len = sc.nextInt();
int[] numbers = new int[len]; // use len here
System.out.printf("Type in integer elements of array ", numbers.length);
int index = 0;
for (index = 0; index < len; index++) { // and use len here
numbers[index] = sc.nextInt();
}
// created method for printing arrays
printArray(numbers);
sc.close();
And don't close the scanner.
When you are receiving your input from the console, the Scanner hasNextInt() method placed inside a while loop condition will continue to read (meaning the loop will continue), until one of the following happens:
You submit a non-numeric symbol (e.g. a letter).
You submit a so-called "end of file" character, which is a special symbol telling the Scanner to stop reading.
Thus, in your case you cannot have the hasNextInt() inside your while loop condition - I am showing a solution below with a counter variable that you can use.
However, the hasNextInt() method inside a while loop has its practical usage for when reading from a different source than the console - e.g. from a String or a file. Inspired from the examples here, suppose we have:
String s = "Hello World! 3 + 3.0 = 6 ";
We can then pass the string s as an input source to the Scanner (notice that we are not passing System.in to the constructor):
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(s);
Then loop until hasNext(), which checks if there is another token of any type in the input. Inside the loop, perform a check if this token is an int using hasNextInt() and print it, otherwise pass the token to the next one using next():
while (scanner.hasNext()) {
if (scanner.hasNextInt()) {
System.out.println("Found int value: " + scanner.next());
} else {
scanner.next();
}
}
Result:
Found int value: 3
Found int value: 6
In the example above, we cannot use hasNextInt() in the while loop condition itself, because the method returns false on the first non-int character that it finds (so the loop closes immediately, as our String begins with a letter).
However, we could use while (hasNextInt()) to read the list of numbers from a file.
Now, the solution to your problem would be to place the index variable inside the while loop condition:
while (index < numbers.length) {
numbers[index++] = sc.nextInt();
}
Or for clarity`s sake, make a specific counter variable:
int index = 0;
int counter = 0;
while (counter < numbers.length) {
numbers[index++] = sc.nextInt();
counter++;
}
I want the user to type in a string.
The console output should have string.length lines (plus the line where the user inputs the string).
The first line should output the first symbol of the string (string.length) times.
The second line should output the first symbol of the string and then repeat the second symbol (string.length - 1) times, and so on.
Here is an example of what I want the console output the be with the word "example".
What will your word be?: example

I have no idea where to start with this one. I'd appreciate any help.
Edit
Sorry for being so unclear and not providing any code. This is what I have so far.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class muster{
public static void main(String s[]){
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("What will your string be?");
String word=sc.next();
for(int i=0;i<word.length();i++)
System.out.println(word.substring(0,i+1));
}
}
This will read the users input and print the word starting from the first letter with a new letter in each new line. What I still need is that the code repeats the letters for as long as the rest of word.length is.
You got very close. You already had the idea to print the substring from 0 to i. Then you just need an inner loop that starts at i+1 and loops until word.length and print out the char at i. Also you need to use System.out.print() so that they will be on the same line:
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("What will your string be?");
String word=sc.next();
for(int i=0;i<word.length();i++) {
System.out.print(word.substring(0,i+1));
for(int j = i+1; j < word.length(); j++) {
System.out.print(word.charAt(i));
}
System.out.println();
}
Output:
What will your string be?

I am having some trouble preventing the user from entering numbers with the scanner class. This is what I have:
package palindrome;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Palindrome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String word;
String inverse = "";
System.out.println("Write a sentence or word: ");
while (!input.hasNext("[A-Za-z]+")) {
System.out.println("Not valid! Try again: ");
input.nextLine();
}
word = input.nextLine();
word = word.replaceAll("\\s+","");
word = word.toLowerCase();
int length = word.length();
length = length - 1;
for (int i = length; i >= 0; i--) {
inverse = inverse + word.charAt(i);
}
if (word.equals(inverse)) {
System.out.println("Is a palindrome.");
} else {
System.out.println("Is not a palindrome.");
}
}
}
Basically when I enter a word or sentence I want it to check if it has any numbers anywhere in the input, if it has then you need to enter another one until it doesn't. Here is an example of output:
Write a sentence or word:
--> 11
Not valid! Try again:
--> 1 test
Not valid! Try again:
--> test 1
Is not a palindrome.
As you can see it works for most cases, but when I enter a word FIRST and then a space followed by a number it evaluates it without the number. I am assuming this is happening because in the while loop is checking for only input.hasNext but it should be input.hasNextLine I believe to check the entire string. However I cannot have any arguments if I do that. Help much appreciated!
Change your regex from: [A-Za-z]+ to ^[A-Za-z]+$ in order to prevent numbers anywhere in the input-string
My program is supposed to gets a phrase from the user then returns to the user an encrypted code of their choice (either ROT13 or ATBASH) of the phrase they entered. My code compiles and everything and lets the user input the required stuff but when they enter the phrase to be encrypted, nothing happens.. like the new encrypted code doesnt show up, and i dont know what wrong with it!
Please help! Thank you!
import java.io.*;
public class J4_1_EncryptionVer4
{
public static void main (String [] args) throws IOException
{
BufferedReader myInput = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));//BufferedReader reads user input
//String array letterA[] is initialized
String [][] letterA = new String [][]{
{"A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z"},
{"N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z","A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M"},
{"Z","Y","X","W","V","U","T","S","R","Q","P","O","N","M","L","K","J","I","H","G","F","E","D","C","B","A"},
};
System.out.println ("Enter '1' for ROT13 or '2' for ATBASH");//asks user to choose method
String numA = myInput.readLine();//reads user input and assigns it to string
int num = Integer.parseInt (numA);//converts string to integer
int a = 0;//int a is declared
if (num == 1){//if user enters 1
a = 1;//set a to 1
}
if (num == 2) {//end if//if user enters 2
a = 2;//set a to 2
}//end if
System.out.println ( a);
System.out.println(num);
System.out.println ("Please enter a phrase: ");//asks user to enter phrase
String message = myInput.readLine();//reads user input and assigns it to string
int x = 0; //declares int var x
System.out.println ("Your Encrypted code is: ");//prints out scentence
while (x < message.length())//while loop will run while x is less that the phrase length
{
String text = message.toUpperCase();//converts user input to upper case
String letter = Character.toString(text.charAt(x));//extracts character from string and assigns it to another string letter
x++;//increments x by 1 each time
for(int i=0; i<letterA.length; i++)//for loop declares int i = 0, will run while i is less than the the length of the array letterA, and i will increment by 1 each time
{
if(letter.equals(letterA[a][i]))//if the letter is equal to letterA[i]
{
System.out.print (letterA[a][i]);//print out the corresponding letter
break;//breaks from loop
}//end if
else if (letter.equals(" "))//else id the letter is equal to a space
{
System.out.print(" ");//prints out space
break;//breaks from loop
}//end else if
}//end for loop
}//end while loop
}//end main
}//end class
This doesn't work because letterA.length is 3, so your for loop only runs through 3 iterations, instead of 26.
I think you should change your for loop to
for (int i= 0; i < letterA[0].length ; i++ ) {
if (letter.equals(letterA[0][i]) {
System.out.print(letterA[a][i]);
break;
}
else {
// .........,.......
}
}
First use the first array as basis. Compare the letters then if they are equal then get the index of that letter to be used in encrypting
I'm using a bloody phone ryt now so I didn't really compile your code
