Program Plan Intro

Sentence Capitalizer

Program Plan:

The detail of “SentenceCapitalizer” class is shown below:

  • In the “main()” method,
    • Declare the required variable.
    • Read the input from the user.
    • Call the sentenceCap() method to display the string with the first letter of each sentence capitalized.
    • Exit the program.
  • In the “sentenceCap()” method,
    • Declare the variable.
    • Create an object for StringBuffer class.
    • Check whether the string length is greater than “0”. If yes,
      • Capitalize the first letter of the string.
    • Get the index value of first period followed by a space.
    • The while loop executes until “i” is not equal to “-1”. If yes,
      • Increment “i” by “1”.
      • The while loop executes until the string length and string followed by space to find the first character of the next sentence.
      • Call the toUpperCase() method to capitalize the character.

Alternate Character DisplayWrite a method that accepts a String object as an argument and then returns the alternate characters as substring starting from index 0. For instance, if the string argument passed is “GREAT”, the method should return “GET”. Demonstrate the method in a program that asks the user to input a string and then passes it to the method.
In the class String, the substring method inserts a String into another String. -True or -False
Word Counter Create an application with a method that accepts a string as an argument and returns the number of words it contains. For instance, if the argument is "Four score and seven years ago," the method should return the number 6. The application should let the user enter a string, and then it should pass the string to the method. The number of words in the string should be displayed.
