Chapter 6.4, Problem 39STQ
In Listing 6.16, the set method that has a String parameter does not allow extra leading and trailing blanks in the string. Rewrite it so that it ignores leading and trailing whitespace. For example, it should allow “65.43” as an argument.

JAVAA7-Write a class with a constructor that accepts a String object as its argument. The class should have a method that returns the number of vowels in the string, and another method that returns the number of consonants in the string. Demonstrate the class in a program by invoking the methods that return the number of vowels and consonants. Print the counts returned.
Method: sumOdds(value: int): This method will sum all the odd values from 1 upto the value passed by parameter. This will display the sumas an integer value.Method: characterCount(phrase: str): This method will count the number of characters in the phrase that is passed by parameter. You cannot useany built in function ( ie len() ) and must use a looping activity. This should display the number of characters inthe phrase as an integerMethod: multiplicationPractice(): This method is to practice simple multiplication problems. The program should randomly generate twonumbers from 1-10 for the user to multiply. It should display the multiplication problem and allow the user toanswer the problem. It should display if the user got the answer correct or incorrect. The activity shouldcontinue until the user has gotten 3 different practice problems correct.Method: order(value1: int, value2: int, value3: int): This method is to order the 3 passed value from least to greatest. It should display…

- def q5(sentence): Assumes sentence is a string. Returns a list of all the words in sentence, where a word is a token separated by white space, (you can use sentence.split()), and then for each word, make it lowercase and remove any character that is not alpha-numeric (a-z or 8-9). For example, I q5("The Plague" (French: "La Peste"), 1947, by Albert CamUs.') should return ['the', 'plague', 'french', 'la', 'peste', '1947', 'by', 'albert', 'camus'] q5('Red@Dragon....ca is great!') should return ['reddragonca', 'is', 'great'] passarrow_forwardpublic static String pancakeScramble(String text) This nifty little problem is taken from the excellent Wolfram Challenges problem site where you can also see examples of what the result should be for various arguments.

- Practice / Frequency of Characters Write a method that returns the frequency of each characters of a given String parameter. If the given String is null, then return null If the given String is empty return an empty map Example input: output: empty map explanation: input is empty Example input: null output: null explanation: input is null. Since problem output is focused on the frequency we can comfortably use Map data structure. Because we can use characters as key and the occurrences of them as value. Example input: responsible output: {r=1, e=2, s=2, p=1, o=1, n=1, i=1, b=1, l=1} explanation: characters are keys and oc values ences arearrow_forwardQuestion 10 Create a class that implements a compressed trie for a set of strings.

- Counting hashtags Write Python code to count the frequency of hashtags in a twitter feed. Your code assumes a twitter feed variable tweets exists, which is a list of strings containing tweets. Each element of this list is a single tweet, stored as a string. For example, tweets may look like: tweets = ["Happy #IlliniFriday!", "It is a pretty campus, isn't it, #illini?", "Diving into the last weekend of winter break like... #ILLINI #JoinTheFight", "Are you wearing your Orange and Blue today, #Illini Nation?"] Your code should produce a sorted list of tuples stored in hashtag_counts, where each tuple looks like (hashtag, count), hashtag is a string and count is an integer. The list should be sorted by count in descending order, and if there are hashtags with identical counts, these should be sorted alphabetically, in ascending order, by hashtag. From the above example, our unsorted hashtag_counts might look like: [('#illini', 2), ('#jointhefight', 1),…arrow_forwardHomework* - Prime factors and prime numbers: Write a program that prompts the user to enter a positive integer which is greater than one and displays all its smallest factors in decreasing order. For example, if the integer is 140, the smallest factors are displayed as 7, 5, 2, 2. Use the StackOflntegers class to store the factors (e.g., 2, 2, 5, 7) and retrieve and display them in reverse order. After that, write a program that displays all the prime numbers less than the number – which is used in the prime factors (e.g: 140)- in decreasing order. Use the StackOflntegers class to store the prime numbers (e.g., 2, 3, 5, ...) and retrieve and display them in reverse order. Here is the sample runs: To use the prime factors you must enter a positive integer which is greater than one: 140 7 5 2 2 Printing prime numbers under 140: 139 137 131 127 113 109 107 103 101 97 89 83 79 73 71 67 61 59 53 47 43 41 37 31 29 23 19 17 13 11 7 5 3 2 * This homework has a part of Challenge Question.arrow_forwardDefine a class called StringFormatter. The purpose of an object of this class is to store a string variable (you may use the C++ string type or a char array). An object of this class can be created by calling a constructor that accepts one string argument. The string to be passed as argument will be a long line of text, such as “The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.” The object will also have a function called printRightAligned() which accepts one integer argument n. The value of the argument represents the maximum number of characters that can be displayed on a line. This function displays the string stored in the object’s attribute on the screen, right aligned and with no more than n characters per line. Similarly, there should be a function called printLeftAlgigned() which displays the text left aligned, again, with no…arrow_forward
