java

. Linear Search - countLetter

For this exercise, you will write a method that implements a linear search. To get started, download the class Main.java. Update the file by replacing the /* missing code */ with your own implementation of the method countLetter.

countLetter accepts as input an ArrayList of Strings and a letter, stored in a String. The method returns the number of Strings in the input ArrayList that start with the given letter. Your implementation should use a linear search algorithm that ignores the case of the Strings in the ArrayList.

Test your code by running the main method and verifying that your output matches the Sample Run that follows.

Explanation / Answer

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class HelloWorld{

public static void main(String []args){
List<String> x=new ArrayList<String>();
x.add("Zebra");
x.add("Aardvark");
x.add("Emu");
x.add("Hippo");
x.add("Alligator");
x.add("Lion");
x.add("Giraffe");
x.add("Seal");
x.add("Tiger");
x.add("Elephant");
char search='A';
int count=0;
for (int i = 0; i < x.size(); i++) {
char[] words=x.get(i).toCharArray();
           for(int j=0;j<words.length;j++){
           if(words[j]==search)
           {
           count++;
           }
           }
}
System.out.println(count);
}
}
