Write a loop that counts the number of space characters in a string. Recall that the space character is represented as ' '.
1 answer:
Answer:
I am writing Python program.
string = input("Enter a string: ")
print(string.count(' '))
Explanation:
The first statement takes input string from the user.
input() is used to read the input from the user.
The next statement uses count() function to count the number of times the specified object which is space ' ' here occurs in the string.
The print() function is used to return the number of times the space occurs in the string entered by the user.
Output:
Enter a string: How are you doing today?

Answer:
Here is the corrected program:
import java.util.Scanner; //to accept input from user
public class 02_14_Activity_one { //class name
public static void main(String[] args) { //start of main method
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); //creates Scanner class object
System.out.println("Enter first string"); //prompts user to enter first string
String s1 = scan.nextLine(); //reads input string from user
System.out.println("Enter second string"); //prompts user to enter second string
String s2 = scan.nextLine(); //reads second input string from user
System.out.println("Enter number of letters from each word"); //enter n
int n = scan.nextInt(); //reads value of integer n from user
System.out.println(s1.substring(0,n) + s2.substring(s2.length() - n ));
} } //uses substring method to print a string made up of the first n letters of s1 and the last n letters of s2.
Explanation:
The errors were:
1.
Scanner scan = Scanner(System.in);
Here new keyword is missing to create object scan of Scanner class.
Corrected statement:
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
2.
String s1 = nextLine();
Here object scan is missing to call nextLine() method of class Scanner
Corrected statement:
String s1 = scan.nextLine();
3.
String s2 = Scanner.nextLine();
Here class is used instead of its object scan to access the method nextLine
Corrected statement:
String s2 = scan.nextLine();
4.
String n = scan.nextLine();
Here n is of type String but n is a whole number so it should be of type int. Also the method nextInt will be used to scan and accept an integer value
Corrected statement:
int n = scan.nextInt();
5.
System.out.println(s1.substring(1,n-1) + s2.substring(s1.length()-n));
This statement is also not correct
Corrected statement:
System.out.println(s1.substring(0,n) + s2.substring(s2.length() - n ));
This works as follows:
s1.substring(0,n) uses substring method to return a new string that is a substring of this s1. The substring begins at the 0th index of s1 and extends to the character at index n.
s2.substring(s2.length() - n ) uses substring method to return a new string that is a substring of this s2. The substring then uses length() method to get the length of s2 and subtracts integer n from it and thus returns the last n characters of s2.
