Answer:
See explaination
Explanation:
public class PalindromeChange {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("mom to non palindrom word is: "+changTONonPalindrom("mom"));
System.out.println("mom to non palindrom word is: "+changTONonPalindrom("aaabbaaa"));
}
private static String changTONonPalindrom(String str)
{
int mid=str.length()/2;
boolean found=false;
char character=' ';
int i;
for(i=mid-1;i>=0;i--)
{
character = str.charAt(i);
if(character!='a')
{
found=true;
break;
}
}
if(!found)
{
for(i=mid+1;i<str.length();i++)
{
character = str.charAt(i);
if(character!='a')
{
found=true;
break;
}
}
}
// This gives the character 'a'
int ascii = (int) character;
ascii-=1;
str = str.substring(0, i) + (char)ascii+ str.substring(i + 1);
return str;
}
}
