Write a method that takes a String and a character as inputs and returns the number of instances of the input character within the input String.
For example, if "banana" and 'a' are input into the method, it should return 3.
If "apple" and 'p' are input, it should return 2
Write a method lastNameFirst that takes a string containing a name such as "Harry Smith" or "Mary Jane Lee", and that returns the string with the last name first, such as "Smith, Harry" or "Lee, Mary Jane".
Write a method that concatenates two strings “Jim” and “Train”. Replace the first letter of the string “Train” with ‘B’ and print the result string.

- Write the method catDog.* * Given a String str, return true if the words "cat" and "dog" appear the same* number of times in the string.* * Examples: catDog("catdog") returns true catDog("catcat") returns false* catDog("1cat1cadodog") returns true* * @param str the String to examine.* @return true if there are the same number of cats and dogs.arrow_forwardGiven a text string, create and return a new string of same length where all vowels have been reversed, and all other characters are kept as they were. For simplicity, in this problem only the characters aeiouAEIOU are considered vowels, and y is never a vowel. For example, given the text string "Uncle Sente lives in Russia", this method should create and return the string "Ancli Sunti levis en Resseu".Furthermore, to make this problem more interesting and the result look more palatable, this method must maintain the capitalization of vowels based on the vowel character that was originally in the position that each new vowel character is moved into. For example, "Ilkka Markus" should become "Ulkka Markis" instead of "ulkka MarkIs". Use the handy character classification methods in the Character utility class to determine whether some particular character is in upper or lower case, and convert some character to its upper or lower case version as needed. Here's the tester it must…arrow_forwardImplement a new concat method in the String class you worked on for HW2. The method should return a new String object that represents the text you would end up with if the argument String were "added onto the end of" this String. For example, in the code below, the String object answer should represent the text "bookstore" and true should be printed the screen. char[] bookA = {'b', 'o', 'o', 'k'}; char[] storeA = {'s', 't', 'o', 'r', 'e'}; char[] bookstoreA = {'b', 'o', 'o', 'k', 's', 't', 'o', 'r', 'e'}; String book = new String(bookA); String store = new String(storeA); String bookstore = new String(bookstoreA); String answer = book.concat(store); System.out.println(answer.equals(bookstore)); In the text area below, type in your definition of the concat method. (In other words, type in the code that should replace the //TODO comment.) Your code cannot call any methods. public class String { private char[] data; public String(char[] value) { data = new…arrow_forward
