This is code for the following question:
Write a program to accept a sentence and print only the first letter of each word of the sentence in capital letters separated by a full stop. Example:
INPUT SENTENCE : "This is a Cat"
OUTPUT : TIAC
But when I execute the code I get
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0
How do I fix this?
There are several issues :
while(s.length()>0) // this is an infinite loop, since s never changes
{
index = s.indexOf(' '); // this will always return the index of the first empty
// space or -1 if there are no spaces at all
// use index = s.indexOf(' ',c);
part = s.substring(c,index); // will fail if index is -1
part = part.trim();
ch = part.charAt(0); // will throw an exception if part is an empty String
String s1 = String.valueOf(ch);
modif = modif+ s1.toUpperCase()+".";
c = index ; // this should be c = index + 1
}
Simply split your input with space .
See below code snippet
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Please input the sentence :");
String s = String.valueOf(bf.readLine());
System.out.println(s);
String output = "";
String[] words = s.split(" ");
for (String word : words) {
if (word != null && !word.trim().isEmpty()) {
output = output + word.charAt(0) + ".";
}
}
System.out.println(output.toUpperCase());
}
Please understand errors in your code as @Eran pointed then see how the above code works. That's how you need to learn :)
