    Default Someone please help me write a simple program!!!

    Requirements: Solution must employ at least one method other than the main() method.

    PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!!!
    This is an assignment for my beginner class, so please dont put in anything too crazy. However, not to easy
    Please make use of if/else statements, while loops, for loops, arrays, and system.out.printlns. If you cant its ok, but please try to.
    THANK YOU~

    p.s. if you can write a comment to describe the process of each line, it would be very helpful.

    hi,

    welcome to the forum.
    you can try this.

    It will invert the word you write.
    you can find too many programs here that has your requirements.

    or better try to do such things.

    it will be fun.

    import java.io.*;
     
    public class WordInverter {
     
     
     
     private static BufferedReader br= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
     
        public  static void main(String[] args)throws IOException
     
         { 
     
           String strInv = null,word;
     
            System.out.print("Enter a word : ");
            word=br.readLine();
            strInv = invert(word);
     
     
        System.out.println("The inverted word  : " + strInv);
     
     
          }
     
    //another method
        public static String invert (String s) {
             String temp = "";
             for (int i=s.length()-1; i>=0; i--)
                  temp += s.charAt (i);
             return temp;
        }
     
    }

    Cheers,
    Truffy

    Hello ocean123, welcome to the Java Programming Forums

    Have you attempted any of this yet?

    I have written this example for you. It contains everything you asked for - if/else statement, while loop, for loops, array, and system.out.printlns.

    You will need to comment this yourself. It will help you to workout and understand what is going on. Please let me know if you get stuck..

    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class Ocean123 {
     
        /**
         * JavaProgrammingForums.com
         */
     
        public static void myMethod(String name){
     
            int i = 0;
            char[] myArray = new char[name.length()];
     
            for(int a = 0; a < name.length(); a++){
                myArray[a] = name.charAt(i);
                System.out.println(name.charAt(i));
                i++;
            }
     
            for(int a = 0; a < myArray.length; a++){
                System.out.print(myArray[a] + "*");
            }
     
            System.out.println();
            System.out.println("Enter a word: (bye to quit) ");
        }
     
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
     
            Ocean123 ocean = new Ocean123();
     
            Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
     
            System.out.println("Enter a word: (bye to quit) ");
     
            while(sc.hasNext()){
     
            String input = sc.next();
     
            if(input.equals("bye")){
                System.out.println("Bye! Bye!");
                System.exit(0);
            }else{
                ocean.myMethod(input);
            }
            }
     
        }
    }

    Output:

    Enter a word: (bye to quit)
    java
    j
    a
    v
    a
    j*a*v*a*
    Enter a word: (bye to quit)

    Im sorry to nitpick but I think "equalsIgnoreCase" would be a better idea here:

    if(input.equals("bye")){
                System.out.println("Bye! Bye!");
                System.exit(0);
            }else{
                ocean.myMethod(input);
            }
            }
     
        }
    }
