Reversing string without using StringBuffer
Hello,
I am needing some help in reversing a string like the one below:
"go to Way" to the string "Way to go"
I know by using a StringBuffer you can change it to "og ot yaW"
but that is not what I am trying to do. I am just trying to change the order of the words within the string. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Hi,
I suggest that you use the BreakIterator of java.text which is better suited for natural language. I have modified the example from the javadocs to produce a method that does the job for a specified locale. You can always use Locale.getDefault() to obtain the default locale.
String reverseWords(String sentence, Locale locale) {
StringBuffer s = new StringBuffer();
BreakIterator i = BreakIterator.getWordInstance(locale);
i.setText(sentence);
int end = i.last();
for (int start = i.previous();
start != BreakIterator.DONE;
end = start, start = i.previous()) {
s.append(sentence.substring(start, end));
return s.toString();
}The code:
System.out.println(reverseWords("Way to go", Locale.getDefault()));yields the output:
go to WayOf course, capitalization and punctuation is a much bigger problem to reverse in a meaningful way.

Søren Bak

Length of a string without using any built-in functions
code that returns the length of a string without using any built-in functions.

SamA string is internally represented by a character array. An array of characters will reside on the stack, not the heap. Yes, we always learned that String is a reference type, but what goes on in your memory might still surprise you...
A struct is internally represented by only it's private properties, sequentially on the stack.
So basically, what I thought is happening by messing with the structlayout: is only tricking our programming a bit into thinking that the top X bytes on the stack represent a chararray, while actually we put them there as a string.
Wrong. True. And wrong.
A string is internally represented by, in that order, an array length, a string length, the chars. None of them resides on the stack.
An array is internally represented by, in that order, an array length and the chars. None of them resides on the stack.
When you use the FieldOffset attribute to handle the string as a char array, you don't get anything right:
- the Length returned is the "array length" of the string, which is equal to the string length + 1.
- the chars returned by the array indexer are shifted by 2 chars (the length of the "string length" field).
You can use the FieldOffset to make that work, but it needs a little bit more work.

Splitting a Number String without using split()
What is the better way of converting a number string where the numbers are seperated by a white space into an array without using the split() method or tocharArray e.g numberString = "12 13 14" numberArray[0] = 12, numberArray[1] = 13, etc
If you know the number of elements in the string, you can create a predefined fixed array. You can also search for empty spaces.
String text = "12 13 14";
int COUNT = 3;
public void doit() {
int[] arr = new int[COUNT];
int sub1 = 0;
int sub2 = 0;
for(int i=0; i<COUNT - 1; i++) {
sub2 = text.indexOf(" ", sub2 + 1);
arr[i] = Integer.parseInt(text.substring(sub1, sub2));
sub1 = sub2 + 1;
arr[COUNT - 1] = text.substring(sub1, text.length()); -
Find the length of a String, without using any String API

Please helpWell I have strongly argued against doing this, (it seems like a pointless exercise), and I have even stated that it cannot be done, even Reflection at some level will use a String method. I have not bothered to dissect wether the same is true with JNI. However, if we take the statement of the original problem exactly as stated, particularly the
but method should not have any String API.i.e. we don't care if a String API is used 'under the covers', just so long as there is no direct usage in the new method that is written, then the answer is trivially easy:
public class Main
public static void main(String args[])
Main worker = new Main();
String str = "123456789";
int len = worker.strLenUsingNoExplicitStringClassMethod(str);
System.out.println("Length of string \""+str+"\""+" is "+len);

Reverse Strings using rercursion and iteration
Hi,
I really need some help, am quite new to java and am struggling.
I want to design 2 methods, both 2 reverse strings.
1) uses StringBuffer and iteration
2) uses Strings and recursion
I would be greatful for any advice or help.
Thanx xxxxx Nats xxxxxxOh, you need to do it using both methods.... Sorry, didn't realise it was coursework :)
Using StringBuffer and iteration
public StringBuffer reverse(StringBuffer buff) {
int halfLen = buff.length();
int len = buff.length();
for(int i=0; i < halfLen; i++) {
char c1 = buff.getCharAt(i);
char c2 = buff.getCharAt((len - i) - 1);
buff = buff.setCharAt(i, c2);
buff = buff.setCharAt((len - i) - 1, c1);
return buff;
}And for String using recursion
public String reverse(String str) {
char[] chars = new char[str.length];
str.getChars(0, chars, 0, str.length());
reverseChars(chars, 0, str.length() / 2);
return new String(chars);
private reverseChars(char[] chars, int index, int halfLen) {
//* end condition
if(index >= halfLen) return;
topIndex = (chars.length - 1) - index;
char tmp = chars[index];
chars[index] = chars[topIndex];
chars[topIndex] = tmp;
reverseChars(chars, ++index, halfLen);
}I only wrote this code on the fly so things may break but it is a start. -
Function that returns N values, without using a string
Hi, how can i make a function that returns several valures (that hasn't a exact number of returned values, it could return 3 values, or 7) without using a string?
When i need to return several values from a function, i put the values inside a varchar like thus 'XXX,YYY,ZZZ' and so on. Don't know if this has a poor performance.
If you can supply simple examples for what im asking, i would be nice.
(without using a string)Can i create the type objects inside a package? If i
can, they will be local to the package, right?Yes, you're right.
Pipeline returns a row or several?You can use pipelined function in the same way you use table:
SELECT * FROM TABLE(pipelined_funct(agr1, agr2));
It returns results as separate rows. -

Why r we allowed to create String objects with & without using new operator
While creating any object, usage of the new operator is a must...but only for the string object we can create it with and also without new operator how is it possible to create an object without using new operator.
Because Mr. (Dr.?) Gosling is a kindly soul who realizes that programmers have deadlines and, when he designed Java, was not so rigid or unbending as not to realize that from time to time, certain shortcuts are warranted, even in a relatively pure language such as Java. The direct String literal assignments are a shortcut over using the new operator making Java programming (and execution; there's also a performance benefit) more streamlined.
So look not the gift horse in the mouth, but simply bask in the simplification and ease on the eyes and directly assign your little literals to your heart's content. -

Something like this.
Append A with B (so A equals "aabb")
Set B equal to a substring of A starting with the first character and ending at A's length minus B's length. (So B equals "aa")
Set A equal to a substring of A starting from B's length and ending at the end of A. (So A equals "bb") -

data: begin of wa,
col1(10),
col2(10),
col3(10),
end of wa,
itab like standard table of wa.

How can I modify column width in a spreadsheet report without using an Excel template
I currently use the LabVIEW Report Generation toolkit in LabVIEW 2011SP1 to create simple spreadsheet reports that I can build/print without having Microsoft Office products installed. I really like being able to do this, and it allows me to generate nice on-demand data reports - I'm also not tied to having Office installed on the system I'm using, so this works on just about any test fixture I can install the software on.
I recently have a requirement that I must have variable-length columns in my report. I currently use the VI "Append Text Table to Report" in order to create a text table, but the column width requirement is that all columns must be equal width UNLESS I use an Excel Template file to define my column widths.
My questions are:
Is it possible to create a text table and define per-column widths without using an Excel Template? If so, how? My report mainly has a lot of small numerical values for the columns, but some columns contain system names or status messages - I really hate the longer text blocks wrapping and taking up so much real-estate when if I could control the column widths I can get all my data on a single line.
I'll admit I haven't tried this myself yet, but if I use an Excel Template will that require me to have Excel installed on the PC in order to print/generate reports?
Is there a recommended way (with an example) of generating a text table in a report with or without using the "Append Text Table to Report" VI that allows me to have custom column widths that doesn't require me to manually build a custom print page? If I do have to create a custom print page, what would be the most straightforward approach?
Thanks!
-DannySure, I'll provide a pared down example that demonstrates my use-case:
I have a control to the VI that takes in a 2D array of strings representing the data I want printed in a table. I am generating a standard report, adding a table to the report, and printing it. The first VI is "New Report.vi", the second VI is "Append Table to Report.vi", and the third is "Print Report.vi", all found standard in the Report Generation palette.
Note that the "Append Table to Report.vi" has an input parameter "Column Width" with a default value of (1). This input parameter is a single input parameter, which defines the column widths of ALL the columns in my table - hence, with the VI the way it is, all my columns will be 1 inch wide.
I find myself needing to be able to define per-column widths, not just a single global column width parameter.
The only way I have found to do this is by using an Excel template file. The "New Report.vi" takes in a "template" parameter, and if used, the report generation toolkit can be set to ignore the "Column Width" input parameter on the "Append Table to Report.vi" by setting the width value to -1. Instead it will launch Excel, open the template file provided, build the table using the template, will close Excel, and will attach the generated table to the report. However, I have a strict requirement that Microsoft Office NOT be required to be installed on the computer.
So, without using Excel, is there a way to generate a table in a report and define the width of each column individually?
