I get a String of the format <num-num-num><num-num-num><num-num-num>
. I want to turn this into a nested Array of Ints with each Array being the content between the <>
.
This is what I got so far:
String parameter = args[1];
// split the string into an array of strings at >
String[] splitString = parameter.split(">");
int[][] square = new int[splitString.length][splitString.length];
// remove <, > and - characters and push the numbers into the square
for (int i = 0; i < splitString.length; i++) {
splitString[i] = splitString[i].replaceAll("[<>-]", "");
for (int j = 0; j < splitString.length; j++) {
square[i][j] = Integer.parseInt(splitString[i].substring(j, j + 1));
}
}
I don't feel like this is very clean, but it works. Does anyone have an idea on how to improve readability?
I assume "<num-num-num><num-num-num><num-num-num>"
would define a 3x3 grid so I would use the following approach:
"num-num-num"
. That means:
"><"
and remove it"-"
to get the individual numbersSome code example:
String input = "<11-12-13><21-22-23><31-32-33>";
//remove leading < and trailing > then split at ><
String[] inputRows = input.substring(1,input.length()-1).split("><");
int[][] grid = new int[inputRows.length][];
for( int r = 0; r < inputRows.length; r++) {
//split the row at -
String[] cells = inputRows[r].split("-");
//convert the array of strings to an array of int by parsing each cell
grid[r] = Arrays.stream(cells).mapToInt(Integer::parseInt).toArray();
}
Here's how it can be done using Java 9 Matcher.results()
.
First, let's define a pattern that captures a group of digits interlaid with dashes -
:
public static final Pattern ANGLE_BRACKETS = Pattern.compile("<([\\d-]*)>");
Using this pattern, we can create a matcher, and with Matcher.results()
generate a stream of MatchResult
s, which is an object representing the captured sequence of characters.
We can obtain the matching substring using MatchResult.group()
( 1
should be passed as an argument, since we need a substring without brackets ).
To split each group, we can use either Pattern.splitAsStream()
or Arrays.split()
. In this case, the latter is preferred because splitting a string on dashes "-"
can be done without compiling a regular expression and utilizing regex engine. Pattern.splitAsStream()
might be more beneficial when array is large ( splitAsStream()
generates a stream directly from the regex engine with need to allocate an intermediate array), or we need to split a string using a regex, and not a regular string like "-"
.
String parameter = "<1-2-3><4-5-6><7-8-9>";
int[][] matrix = ANGLE_BRACKETS1.matcher(parameter).results()
.map(matchResult -> matchResult.group(1))
.map(str -> Arrays.stream(str.split("-")).mapToInt(Integer::parseInt).toArray())
.toArray(int[][]::new);
System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(matrix));
Output:
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]
