Scala Programming: Check whether a specified character is happy or not
Write a Scala program to check whether a specified character is happy or not. A character is happy when the same character appears to its left or right in a string.
Sample Solution:
Scala Code:
object Scala_String {
def test(stng: String, spc: Char): Boolean = {
var l = stng.length();
var char_happy = true;
for (i <- 0 to l - 1) {
if (stng.charAt(i) == spc) {
if (i > 0 && stng.charAt(i - 1) == spc)
char_happy = true;
else if (i < l - 1 && stng.charAt(i + 1) == spc)
char_happy = true;
else
char_happy = false;
}
}
char_happy;
}
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
var str1 = "azzlea";
var spc = 'z'
println("The given string is: " + str1);
println("Is " + spc + " happy in the said string: " + test(str1, spc));
str1 = "abcfdkefg";
spc = 'f'
println("The given string is: " + str1);
println("Is " + spc + " happy in the said string: " + test(str1, spc));
}
}
Sample Output:
The given string is: azzlea Is z happy in the said string: true The given string is: abcfdkefg Is f happy in the said string: false
