Question

Write a method called listSearch() that takes in a target string and a list of other strings. This method returns a (possibly shorter) list containing all of the strings from the original list that themselves contain the target string you are searching for. Check for the target string as a case-sensitive substring of every member of the list. You can either modify the provided list or create a new one.

Answer 1

Answer:

public static List<String> listSearch(String searchFor, List<String> list){

    List<String> foundList = new ArrayList<String>();

   

    for(String s:list){

        if(s.contains(searchFor)){

            foundList.add(s);

        }

    }

    return foundList;

}

Explanation:

Create a method named listSearch that takes two parameters, a String named searchFor and a String list named list

Inside the method, initialize a new String list named foundList, this will be used to hold the strings that contains the target string. Create a for loop that iterates through the list. Check if a string in the list contains the searchFor using the contains method. If it does, add the string to the foundList. When the loop is done, return the foundList.
