Worksheet Strings (Grade 10)

1. Write a program to input a word from the user and remove the duplicate characters present in it.
INPUT Mississippi
OUTPUT Misp

2. Write a program to find the shortest and the longest word in a sentence and print them along with their length.
Sample Input: I am learning Java
Sample Output:
Shortest word = I
Length = 1
Longest word = learning
Length = 8
3. Write a program in Java to accept the name and weight of 20 of your friends. Store the weighting a double type array
weight [ ] and the name in a String type array name [ ]. Then sort the name of your friends in
ascending order of their weights and finally print the result.
4. Write Java statements to:
(i) replace all occurrences of character r with h in the String Programmer
(ii) initialize a character array ch with the characters of the word Transition
(iii) convert a character stored in variable test into Upper Case
5. Consider the following string:
String hannah = "Did Hannah see bees? Hannah did.";
a.

What is the value displayed by the expression hannah.length()?

b.

What is the value returned by the method call hannah.charAt(12)?

c.

Write an expression that refers to the letter b in the string referred to by hannah.

6. How long is the string returned by the following expression? What is the string?
"Was it a car or a cat I saw?".substring(9, 12)
