Well, what steps would you take to acomplish this task? Frankly, if you're interviewing with Nokia, if you want a shot, this kind of assignment shouldn't be any problem. My recomendations is to take a piece of paper, and try to solve this by hand, see what steps you took, then write them down in pseudocode, like this:
This should give you a clear outline for your program, all that's left is translating plain language into Java.Code:get input from user
get the separate words
etc...
etc...
If Nokia puts those restrictions on a possible answer then Nokia is quite stupid: if a builtin method can accomplish the task and it can do it efficiently one is a moron not to use it ...Quote:

If this restriction aplies to a commercial project that is developed, then it is indeed stupid, however, as an interview question, it is quite valid. The same line of thinking would be, since Java allocates memory for it's objects automatically, and the garbage collector frees up the memory from objects no longer in use, noone should use C anymore because all that malloc jazz is obsolete.
Even then: it can be useful to break down the problem in terms of existing methods and (re)implement (parts of) those methods yourself if you're not allowed to use those methods. Nowadays I even use 'jamvm' (google it, it is interesting) on very small devices (*); C is history for my job ...Quote:
