For example the user types: The fruit apple is my favourite. I'd like to return: The fruit ***** is my favourite.
But my code only returns the first word.
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.print("Type someting: ");
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
String s = scan.next();
String [] myArray = {"apple", "banana", "strawberry"};
boolean matchFound = false;
for (int i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
if (s.toLowerCase().contains(myArray[i].toLowerCase())){
String beep = String.join("", Collections.nCopies(myArray[i].length(), "*"));
String result = s.replaceAll(myArray[i].toLowerCase(), beep);
System.out.println(result);
matchFound = true;
}
}
if (matchFound == false){
System.out.println(s);
}
}
Way of inputting is not correct
It should be
String s = scan.nextLine();
rather than scan.next();
With s = scan.next();
s will only get initialized as "The"
Also put a break once you found the element. This will make sure to come out of the loop when element is found and improve the code performance.
matchFound = true;
break;
