Thread: Trouble with the use of isDigit and isLetter

I am trying to figure out how to concat two strings if certain conditions are met or not met. Say I were to enter a string, and the string did not contain any letters. I would then prompt the program to add 007 at the end of the string, and if I were to include numbers in the string in the first place it would output what I entered in the first place. I have tried the following sequences below, but have not found anything that works properly.

Say I entered John1... I want it to output John1.

If I were to enter John... Then I would want it to output John007.

Or if I were to enter Area51Games... Then I would want it to output Area51Games.

Does anyone have any helpful advice to help me solve my problem, because isLetter, and isDigit just aren't working for me.


//My code
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Word {
public static void main(String[] args){

String word = "";

word = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a word: ");

valid(word);

}//end main method

public static void valid(String input){
String number = "007";
String output = "";

for(int i = 0; i < input.length(); i++){

// else if(!Character.isLetter(output.charAt(i))){output+= number;break;}//end 007 else if

// else if(Character.isLetter(output.charAt(i))){output+=n umber;break;}//end 007 else if


// else if(!Character.isDigit(output.charAt(i))){output+=n umber;break;}//end 007 else if

// else if(Character.isDigit(output.charAt(i))){output+=nu mber;break;}//end 007 else if


// else if(!Character.isLetter(input.charAt(i))){output+=n umber;break;}//end 007 else if

// else if(Character.isLetter(input.charAt(i))){output += number;break;}//end 007 else if


// else if(!Character.isDigit(input.charAt(i))){output+=nu mber;break;}//end 007 else if

// else if(Character.isDigit(input.charAt(i))){output+=num ber;break;}//end 007 else if

}//end for loop

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The output is: " + output);
}//end valid method
}//end Word Class

an example?

I haven't had an opportunity to get to a computer to try anything out. I was just wondering if you'd be a able to provide an example.

Wouldn't I be able to use a count to count how many letters are in the string, and then if the count doesn't match with the string.length() then I'd be able to concat the string with the "007"?
