Single character instance from string

i was wondering how can i create a method where i can get the single instance from a string and give it a numericValue for example, if theres a String a = "Hello what the hell" there are 4 l characters and i want to give a substring from the String a which is Hello and give it numeric values. Right now in my program it gets all the character instances from string so the substring hello would get number values from the substring hell too because it also has the same characters.
my code :
public class Puzzle {
private static char[] letters = {'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'};
private static String input;
private static String delimiters = "\\s+|\\+|//+|=";
public static void main(String[]args)
{
input = "help + me = please";
System.out.println(putValues(input));
}
//method to put numeric values for substring from input
#SuppressWarnings("static-access")
public static long putValues(String input)
{
Integer count;
long answer = 0;
String first="";
String second = "";
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(input);
int wordCounter = Countwords();
String[] words = countLetters();
System.out.println(input);
if(input.isEmpty())
{
System.out.println("Sisestage mingi s6na");
}
if(wordCounter == -1 ||countLetters().length < 1){
return -1;
}
for(Character s : input.toCharArray())
{
for(Character c : letters)
{
if(s.equals(c))
{
count = c.getNumericValue(c) - 9;
System.out.print(s.toUpperCase(s) +"="+ count + ", ");
}
}
if(words[0].contains(s.toString()))
{
count = s.getNumericValue(s);
//System.out.println(count);
first += count.toString();
}
if(words[3].contains(s.toString())){
count = s.getNumericValue(s);
second += count.toString();
}
}
try {
answer = Long.parseLong(first)+ Long.parseLong(second);
} catch(NumberFormatException ex)
{
System.out.println(ex);
}
System.out.println("\n" + first + " + " + second + " = " + answer);
return answer;
}
public static int Countwords()
{
String[] countWords = input.split(" ");
int counter = countWords.length - 2;
if(counter == 0) {
System.out.println("Sisend puudu!");
return -1;
}
if(counter > 1 && counter < 3) {
System.out.println("3 sõna peab olema");
return -1;
}
if(counter > 3) {
System.out.println("3 sõna max!");
return -1;
}
return counter;
}
//method which splits input String and returns it as an Array so i can put numeric values after in the

Program has to solve the word puzzles where you have to guess which digit corresponds to which letter to make a given equality valid. Each letter must correspond to a different decimal digit, and leading zeros are not allowed in the numbers.
For example, the puzzle SEND+MORE=MONEY has exactly one solution: S=9, E=5, N=6, D=7, M=1, O=0, R=8, Y=2, giving 9567+1085=10652.

import java.util.ArrayList;
public class main {
private static String ChangeString;
private static String[] ArrayA;
private static String a;
private static int wordnumber;
private static String temp;
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
a = "hello what the hell";
wordnumber = 0;
identifyint(a,wordnumber);
}
public static void identifyint (String a, int WhichWord){
ChangeString = a.split(" ")[WhichWord];
ArrayA = a.split(" ");
replaceword();
ArrayA[wordnumber] = ChangeString;
//System.out.print(ArrayA[wordnumber]);
a = "";
for(int i = 0; i<ArrayA.length;i++){
if(i==wordnumber){
a = a.concat(temp+ " ");
}
else{
a = a.concat(ArrayA[i]+" ");
}
}
System.out.print(a);
}
public static void replaceword(){
temp = "";
Character arr[] = new Character[ChangeString.length()];
for(int i = 0; i<ChangeString.length();i++){
arr[i] = ChangeString.charAt(i);
Integer k = arr[i].getNumericValue(arr[i])-9;
temp = temp.concat(""+k);
}
a = temp;
}
}
Change wordnumber to the word you want to replace each time. If this is not what you have asked for, please explain your question in more detail.

Count the number of Occurrences of a Word in a String

I am new to Java Strings the problem is that I want to count the Occurrences of a specific word in a String. Suppose that my String is:
i have a male cat. the color of male cat is Black
Now I dont want to split it as well so I want to search for a word that is "male cat". it occurs two times in my string!
What I am trying is:
int c = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < text.length(); j++) {
if (text.contains("male cat")) {
c += 1;
}
}
System.out.println("counter=" + c);
it gives me 46 counter value! So whats the solution?

You can use the following code:
String in = "i have a male cat. the color of male cat is Black";
int i = 0;
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("male cat");
Matcher m = p.matcher( in );
while (m.find()) {
i++;
}
System.out.println(i); // Prints 2
Demo
What it does?
It matches "male cat".
while(m.find())
indicates, do whatever is given inside the loop while m finds a match.
And I'm incrementing the value of i by i++, so obviously, this gives number of male cat a string has got.

If you just want the count of "male cat" then I would just do it like this:
String str = "i have a male cat. the color of male cat is Black";
int c = str.split("male cat").length - 1;
System.out.println(c);
and if you want to make sure that "female cat" is not matched then use \\b word boundaries in the split regex:
int c = str.split("\\bmale cat\\b").length - 1;

StringUtils in apache commons-lang have CountMatches method to counts the number of occurrences of one String in another.
String input = "i have a male cat. the color of male cat is Black";
int occurance = StringUtils.countMatches(input, "male cat");
System.out.println(occurance);

Java 8 version:
public static long countNumberOfOccurrencesOfWordInString(String msg, String target) {
return Arrays.stream(msg.split("[ ,\\.]")).filter(s -> s.equals(target)).count();
}

Java 8 version.
System.out.println(Pattern.compile("\\bmale cat")
.splitAsStream("i have a male cat. the color of male cat is Black")
.count()-1);

This static method does returns the number of occurrences of a string on another string.
/**
* Returns the number of appearances that a string have on another string.
*
* #param source a string to use as source of the match
* #param sentence a string that is a substring of source
* #return the number of occurrences of sentence on source
*/
public static int numberOfOccurrences(String source, String sentence) {
int occurrences = 0;
if (source.contains(sentence)) {
int withSentenceLength = source.length();
int withoutSentenceLength = source.replace(sentence, "").length();
occurrences = (withSentenceLength - withoutSentenceLength) / sentence.length();
}
return occurrences;
}
Tests:
String source = "Hello World!";
numberOfOccurrences(source, "Hello World!"); // 1
numberOfOccurrences(source, "ello W"); // 1
numberOfOccurrences(source, "l"); // 3
numberOfOccurrences(source, "fun"); // 0
numberOfOccurrences(source, "Hello"); // 1
BTW, the method could be written in one line, awful, but it also works :)
public static int numberOfOccurrences(String source, String sentence) {
return (source.contains(sentence)) ? (source.length() - source.replace(sentence, "").length()) / sentence.length() : 0;
}

using indexOf...
public static int count(String string, String substr) {
int i;
int last = 0;
int count = 0;
do {
i = string.indexOf(substr, last);
if (i != -1) count++;
last = i+substr.length();
} while(i != -1);
return count;
}
public static void main (String[] args ){
System.out.println(count("i have a male cat. the color of male cat is Black", "male cat"));
}
That will show: 2
Another implementation for count(), in just 1 line:
public static int count(String string, String substr) {
return (string.length() - string.replaceAll(substr, "").length()) / substr.length() ;
}

Why not recursive ?
public class CatchTheMaleCat {
private static final String MALE_CAT = "male cat";
static int count = 0;
public static void main(String[] arg){
wordCount("i have a male cat. the color of male cat is Black");
System.out.println(count);
}
private static boolean wordCount(String str){
if(str.contains(MALE_CAT)){
count++;
return wordCount(str.substring(str.indexOf(MALE_CAT)+MALE_CAT.length()));
}
else{
return false;
}
}
}

public class TestWordCount {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int count = numberOfOccurences("Alice", "Alice in wonderland. Alice & chinki are classmates. Chinki is better than Alice.occ");
System.out.println("count : "+count);
}
public static int numberOfOccurences(String findWord, String sentence) {
int length = sentence.length();
int lengthWithoutFindWord = sentence.replace(findWord, "").length();
return (length - lengthWithoutFindWord)/findWord.length();
}
}

This will work
int word_count(String text,String key){
int count=0;
while(text.contains(key)){
count++;
text=text.substring(text.indexOf(key)+key.length());
}
return count;
}

Replace the String that needs to be counted with empty string and then use the length without the string to calculate the number of occurrence.
public int occurrencesOf(String word)
{
int length = text.length();
int lenghtofWord = word.length();
int lengthWithoutWord = text.replace(word, "").length();
return (length - lengthWithoutWord) / lenghtofWord ;
}

Once you find the term you need to remove it from String under process so that it won't resolve the same again, use indexOf() and substring() , you don't need to do contains check length times

The string contains that string all the time when looping through it. You don't want to ++ because what this is doing right now is just getting the length of the string if it contains " "male cat"
You need to indexOf() / substring()
Kind of get what i am saying?

If you find the String you are searching for, you can go on for the length of that string (if in case you search aa in aaaa you consider it 2 times).
int c=0;
String found="male cat";
for(int j=0; j<text.length();j++){
if(text.contains(found)){
c+=1;
j+=found.length()-1;
}
}
System.out.println("counter="+c);

This should be a faster non-regex solution.
(note - Not a Java programmer)
String str = "i have a male cat. the color of male cat is Black";
int found = 0;
int oldndx = 0;
int newndx = 0;
while ( (newndx=str.indexOf("male cat", oldndx)) > -1 )
{
found++;
oldndx = newndx+8;
}

There are so many ways for the occurrence of substring and two of theme are:-
public class Test1 {
public static void main(String args[]) {
String st = "abcdsfgh yfhf hghj gjgjhbn hgkhmn abc hadslfahsd abcioh abc a ";
count(st, 0, "a".length());
}
public static void count(String trim, int i, int length) {
if (trim.contains("a")) {
trim = trim.substring(trim.indexOf("a") + length);
count(trim, i + 1, length);
} else {
System.out.println(i);
}
}
public static void countMethod2() {
int index = 0, count = 0;
String inputString = "mynameiskhanMYlaptopnameishclMYsirnameisjasaiwalmyfrontnameisvishal".toLowerCase();
String subString = "my".toLowerCase();
while (index != -1) {
index = inputString.indexOf(subString, index);
if (index != -1) {
count++;
index += subString.length();
}
}
System.out.print(count);
}}

We can count from many ways for the occurrence of substring:-
public class Test1 {
public static void main(String args[]) {
String st = "abcdsfgh yfhf hghj gjgjhbn hgkhmn abc hadslfahsd abcioh abc a ";
count(st, 0, "a".length());
}
public static void count(String trim, int i, int length) {
if (trim.contains("a")) {
trim = trim.substring(trim.indexOf("a") + length);
count(trim, i + 1, length);
} else {
System.out.println(i);
}
}
public static void countMethod2() {
int index = 0, count = 0;
String inputString = "mynameiskhanMYlaptopnameishclMYsirnameisjasaiwalmyfrontnameisvishal".toLowerCase();
String subString = "my".toLowerCase();
while (index != -1) {
index = inputString.indexOf(subString, index);
if (index != -1) {
count++;
index += subString.length();
}
}
System.out.print(count);
}}

I've got another approach here:
String description = "hello india hello india hello hello india hello";
String textToBeCounted = "hello";
// Split description using "hello", which will return
//string array of words other than hello
String[] words = description.split("hello");
// Get number of characters words other than "hello"
int lengthOfNonMatchingWords = 0;
for (String word : words) {
lengthOfNonMatchingWords += word.length();
}
// Following code gets length of `description` - length of all non-matching
// words and divide it by length of word to be counted
System.out.println("Number of matching words are " +
(description.length() - lengthOfNonMatchingWords) / textToBeCounted.length());

Complete Example here,
package com.test;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;
public class WordsOccurances {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String sentence = "Java can run on many different operating "
+ "systems. This makes Java platform independent.";
String[] words = sentence.split(" ");
Map<String, Integer> wordsMap = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i<words.length; i++ ) {
if (wordsMap.containsKey(words[i])) {
Integer value = wordsMap.get(words[i]);
wordsMap.put(words[i], value + 1);
} else {
wordsMap.put(words[i], 1);
}
}
/*Now iterate the HashMap to display the word with number
of time occurance */
Iterator it = wordsMap.entrySet().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry<String, Integer> entryKeyValue = (Map.Entry<String, Integer>) it.next();
System.out.println("Word : "+entryKeyValue.getKey()+", Occurance : "
+entryKeyValue.getValue()+" times");
}
}
}

public class WordCount {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String scentence = "This is a treeis isis is is is";
String word = "is";
int wordCount = 0;
for(int i =0;i<scentence.length();i++){
if(word.charAt(0) == scentence.charAt(i)){
if(i>0){
if(scentence.charAt(i-1) == ' '){
if(i+word.length()<scentence.length()){
if(scentence.charAt(i+word.length()) != ' '){
continue;}
}
}
else{
continue;
}
}
int count = 1;
for(int j=1 ; j<word.length();j++){
i++;
if(word.charAt(j) != scentence.charAt(i)){
break;
}
else{
count++;
}
}
if(count == word.length()){
wordCount++;
}
}
}
System.out.println("The word "+ word + " was repeated :" + wordCount);
}
}

Simple solution is here-
Below code uses HashMap as it will maintain keys and values. so here keys will be word and values will be count (occurance of a word in a given string).
public class WordOccurance
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
HashMap<String, Integer> hm = new HashMap<>();
String str = "avinash pande avinash pande avinash";
//split the word with white space
String words[] = str.split(" ");
for (String word : words)
{
//If already added/present in hashmap then increment the count by 1
if(hm.containsKey(word))
{
hm.put(word, hm.get(word)+1);
}
else //if not added earlier then add with count 1
{
hm.put(word, 1);
}
}
//Iterate over the hashmap
Set<Entry<String, Integer>> entry = hm.entrySet();
for (Entry<String, Integer> entry2 : entry)
{
System.out.println(entry2.getKey() + " "+entry2.getValue());
}
}
}

public int occurrencesOf(String word) {
int length = text.length();
int lenghtofWord = word.length();
int lengthWithoutWord = text.replaceAll(word, "").length();
return (length - lengthWithoutWord) / lenghtofWord ;
}

for scala it's just 1 line
def numTimesOccurrenced(text:String, word:String) =text.split(word).size-1

How to count substring of a string has appeared in another large string?

I have a large string like " ali li vali bali", and I want to know that how many times all words(I mean individual words like li) are repeated (ali, li, vali and bali are only considered as substrings) apart from its own existence.
For example: li is substring in a large string and it is repeating thrice other than its own existence.
li in ali, li in vali and li in bali. count is: 3.
This is my code and the error I got:
import java.util.*;
public class main{
public static void main(String args[]){
String str="";
Scanner scan= new Scanner(System.in);
while(scan.hasNext())
{
str+= scan.nextLine();
}
int n= str.trim().split("\\s+").length;
String[] wordsArray=str.split(" ");
substring sub=new substring();
for(int i=0;i<wordsArray.length;i++){
int count=sub.sub(wordsArray[i],str);
csub+=count;
}
System.out.println("number of substring: "+csub);
and substring do:
public class substring{
public int sub(String str,String str2){
String[] wordsArray=str2.split(" ");
int len=str.length();
int b=0;
String[] str1=new String[len*2+2];
int k=0;
for (int from = 0; from < str.length(); from++) {
for (int to = from + 1; to <= str.length(); to++) {
str1[k]=str.substring(from, to);
k++;
}
}
int index = 0;
int count = 0;
for(int i=0;i<str1.length;i++){
if(str1[i].length()>2){
while ((index = str2.indexOf(str1[i], index)) != -1) {
index += str1[i].length();
count++;
b++;
}
}
}
return b;
}
}
What is wrong?
**I got this error:**
Expection in thread "main" java lang.NullPointerExpection

You can just scan the string without splitting it.
Example:
public static int countSubstring(String str, String substring) {
// start at the beggining of the string
int pos = 0;
int count = 0;
// search starting at pos and store the index (if found) on pos
while ((pos = str.indexOf(substring, pos)) != -1) {
count++;
// pos is at the index of last found substring
// advance it by the length of the substring
pos = pos + substring.length();
}
return count;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(countSubstring("li, vali and bali", "li"));
}
Output
3

You could do it like this,
public static int sub(String str, String str2) {
if (str == null || str2 == null) {
return 0;
}
int count = 0;
int p = str2.indexOf(str);
while (p >= 0) {
count++;
p = str2.indexOf(str, p + str.length());
}
return count;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String toSearch = "Hi Dee Hi";
System.out.println(sub("Hi", toSearch));
System.out.println(sub("Dee", toSearch));
System.out.println(sub("Ho", toSearch));
}
Outputs

Remove repeated characters in a string

I need to write a static method that takes a String as a parameter and returns a new String obtained by replacing every instance of repeated adjacent letters with a single instance of that letter without using regular expressions. For example if I enter "maaaakkee" as a String, it returns "make".
I already tried the following code, but it doesn't seem to display the last character.
Here's my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class undouble {
public static void main(String [] args){
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("enter String: ");
String str = console.nextLine();
System.out.println(removeSpaces(str));
}
public static String removeSpaces(String str){
String ourString="";
int j = 0;
for (int i=0; i<str.length()-1 ; i++){
j = i+1;
if(str.charAt(i)!=str.charAt(j)){
ourString+=str.charAt(i);
}
}
return ourString;
}
}

You could use regular expressions for that.
For instance:
String input = "ddooooonnneeeeee";
System.out.println(input.replaceAll("(.)\\1{1,}", "$1"));
Output:
done
Pattern explanation:
"(.)\\1{1,}" means any character (added to group 1) followed by itself at least once
"$1" references contents of group 1

maybe:
for (int i=1; i<str.length() ; i++){
j = i+1;
if(str.charAt(i)!=str.charAt(j)){
ourString+=str.charAt(i);
}
}

The problem is with your condition. You say compare i and i+1 in each iteration and in last iteration you have both i and j pointing to same location so it will never print the last character. Try this unleass you want to use regex to achive this:
EDIT:
public void removeSpaces(String str){
String ourString="";
for (int i=0; i<str.length()-1 ; i++){
if(i==0){
ourString = ""+str.charAt(i);
}else{
if(str.charAt(i-1) != str.charAt(i)){
ourString = ourString +str.charAt(i);
}
}
}
System.out.println(ourString);
}

if you cannot use replace or replaceAll, here is an alternative. O(2n), O(N) for stockage and O(N) for creating the string. It removes all repeated chars in the string put them in a stringbuilder.

input : aabbcdeef, output : cdf

More fun with java 7:
System.out.println("11223344445555".replaceAll("(?<nums>.+)\\k<nums>+","${nums}"));
No more cryptic numbers in regexes.

public static String removeDuplicates(String str) {

if (str.charAt(i - 1) == str.charAt(i) && i != 0) {
continue;

How to remove duplicate character from a string in java?

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
}
