How to reverse a string, skiping numbers , and ' ?

[mlotfi]

Hi,

If we have :

String source = "85.34% of all, the application are wrong, it's normal"

How to reverse it to :

"85.34% fo lla, eht noitacilppa era gnorw, ti's lamron"

Thanks

You write code that does this for you. What have you tried so far?

[pbrockway2]

And even before the code think about how you rather than the computer would get the output from the input. Does it involve splitting the original string up in some way? And doing something to the component parts?

The thing is, you have to be comprehensive and specific with your "recipe" - be able to describe the process you would use completely. This might involve being explicit about things that you are normally unconscious of: like "What is a number?"

Suppose the sentence to be reserved is stored in str

String temp;
int length=str.length() - 1;
char ch;
for(int i=0;i<=length;i++)
{
ch=str.charAt(i); 
if (ch==" ")
{
reverse(temp);
temp="";
System.out.print(" ");
}
else
str=str.concat(ch);
}


void reverse(String s)
{
int length2=s.length()-1;
for(int j=length2;j>=0; j++)
{
System.out.print(s.charAt(j));
}
}

Hope that your question is solved.

Does your code even compile? I think it doesn't so don't post it as if it were a solution to the question.

And even if it doesn't compile, handing over solutions like that does next to nothing to help the original poster learn how to problem solve, debug, write code, and any other aspect that is essential to the learning process - all it does is help them cheat. Just this person's .02 though

The key to this, like others have said above, is getting the logic of how you would do this outside of programming, and then implementing that logic in your program by using the String class.

I agree entirely with this post. Do not spoonfeed! Ranjiths, please verify that your code is working before posting. If it is, don't post it! Give them a small nudge in the correct decision. Spoonfeeding more incorrect informastion will not help you.

Whenever you go to post something, stop for a second and think. Google if needed, do research and try to see if you can confirm what you thought before giving help.


@op: It may be helpful to create a method which reverses a single 1 word string. From there split should come in handy.
