Chapter 8.4, Problem 8.18CP
Program Plan Intro
String class:
- The “String” class provides a number of methods that examines for a string inside of a string.
- The term “substring” refers to a string that denotes another string’s part.
- The “startsWith” method would determine whether calling string of object begins with a specific substring.
- The method returns “true” if string begins with specified substring, it returns “false” otherwise.
- The “endsWith” method would determine whether calling string would end with a specified substring.
- The method returns “true” if string ends with specified substring, it returns “false” otherwise.
- The “regionMatches” method would determine whether specified regions for two strings match.
- The first argument of this method can be “true” or “false” that indicates whether a case-insensitive comparison could be performed.
StringBuilder class:
- The “StringBuilder” class is same as “String” class except that contents of “StringBuilder” objects could be changed.
- It provides several methods that “String” class does not have.
- The “append” method accepts an argument that might be a primitive data type.
- It appends a string representation to contents of calling object.
- The “insert” method accepts two arguments, an integer that specifies position in string of calling object as well as value to be inserted.
- The “replace” method replaces the occurrences of one character with another character.
- The “toString” method converts a “StringBuilder” object in to a regular string.

Java code
Tom loves strings very much but he loves palindromic strings even more. Today he found an old rope
in his garage. The string is so old that some of its characters have disappeared and cannot be
identified now. Blurred letters in the character unit are represented by '.' and the other letters are
Latin letters of the word ['a' - 'z'].
The palindrome tom has decided to build a very small palindrome according to the dictionary by
filling in each diminished letter ('.') In Latin with a lowercase letter. Can you help her finish the job
using C++ programming language?

When determining whether an alphanumeric string is a palindrome, we often ignore spaces, punctuation and case in the string (e.g. "A man, a plan, a canal --Panama!" is also considered a palindrome). Write a complete C program to read a string, echo it to the screen, determine whether it is a palindrome, and write a message indicating whether it is or isn't. Your main function should prompt for the string, read the string, print it, call the clean function (to remove all spaces, punctuation, and turn uppercase letters into lowercase letters), print the new string, then call the reverse function (to place the characters into reverse order) and print the new string resulting. In the final step, you will compare the result of the reverse function with the original string and print a message if the string is a palindrome or not. The clean…arrow_forward

Depending on the last character of the sentence, print the message identifying the sentence as declarative (ends with a period), interrogative (ends with a question mark), exclamatory (end with an exclamation point), or other. Hint: you can use charAt() method from the String class to extract the last character of the input line. The character of a String str is at str.length()-1 position. For taking a sentence as input use the nextLine() method from the Scanner class. You have to use if/else if selection. Sample input and output: Sample 1 Input: How are you?

You should name this method isPalindrome.
