Need a little bit of help with substring...

Question

Im very new at java programming, and need a bit of help with a problem:
Here is what I have:
System.out.print("Enter a string : ");
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
stringy = scan.nextLine();
Now I want to split the string "stringy" like this: h:hi:hip:hipp:hippo
I know this uses substring, but I can't figure out how to do it.
Any help would be great, thanks!

Answer 1

I know about the length method, what I dont knowis
how to use the length and substring methodstogether
to solve the problem i mentioned initially. There are three ingredients to perform this task:
- String.length()
- String.substring(int start, int end)
- for-statement:

lts/for.html
Pseudo code:IN <- input String from user
LOOP FROM 0 -> IN.length()
print IN.substring(?, ?)
print ":"
END LOOP
Remember, Im very new. ;)Remember that by just handing you the solution, you
will learn far less than finding things out by
yourself.
; )Thanks a lot, i should be able to figure it out froom the pseudo code. :)
