Scala Programming: Add a string with specific number of times separated by a substring

Last update on December 21 2024 10:25:16 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Scala program to add a string with specific number of times separated by a substring.

Sample Solution:

Scala Code:

object Scala_String {
  def test(main_str: String, sep_str: String, ctr: Int): String = {
    var new_word = "";
    for (i <- 0 to ctr - 1) {
      if (i < ctr - 1)
        new_word = new_word + (main_str + sep_str)
      else
        new_word += main_str;
    }
    return new_word;
  }

  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val str1 = "try";
    val str2 = "best";
    var ctr = 3;

    println("The given strings are: " + str1 + "  and  " + str2);
    println("Number to times to be repeat: " + ctr);
    println("The new string is: " + test(str1, str2, ctr));
  }
}

Sample Output:

The given strings are: try  and  best
Number to times to be repeat: 3
The new string is: trybesttrybesttry

Previous: Write a Scala program to count how many times the substring 'life' present at anywhere in a given string. Counting can also happen for the substring 'li?e',any character instead of 'f'.
Next: Write a Scala program to repeat a specific number of characters for specific number of times from the last part of a given string.
