Question

Using replacements and substring between variables, how can I go about completing this problem?

Specifically, how can I use the substring and index in order to substitute the instances of 'emu' with the full 'Eastern Michigan University'? How can I do it multiple times for the various instances?

And, given that I make a second string that turns everything to lower case for the replacement sake, how can I then put the changes back into the original string (Towards the bottom of the second picture, the statement used to test the program)?

This is using Java!

Make your code generic enough that it will replace any of "emU", "EMu", "eMu", etc. with Eastern Michigan University. Similarly, your code should replace "Ypsi", "YpSi" yPsl', etc with Ypsilanti 1. Important: test your code by changing the sentence variable (try "ypSl "YpSl", and other combinations, same for "EmU", "eMu", etc) and make sure your code still replaces both strings correctly 2. Your program should replace all

Explanation / Answer

Program:

package com.test;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class replaceString

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

/*

* Initialising Scanner to get the input from the user

*/

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

//Storing the value entered by user in variable "text"

String sentence = sc.nextLine();

//In replace all method if we give the target string in the form of regex(?i)

//it does'nt consider the case of the target substring

sentence = sentence.replaceAll("(?i)emu", "Eastern Michigan University");

sentence = sentence.replaceAll("(?i)ypsi", "Ypsilanti");

//printing the final value

System.out.println(sentence);

}

}

Output:

"Hello, I go to EmU in yPSi and both of my parents went to eMu and EMu has a beautiful campus, not to mention that eMU is ClosE to My Home in YPSi."
"Hello, I go to Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti and both of my parents went to Eastern Michigan University and Eastern Michigan University has a beautiful campus, not to mention that Eastern Michigan University is ClosE to My Home in Ypsilanti."

Kindly comment if you need anymore help with the program.
