Problem:
Given a string, if a length 2 substring appears at both its beginning and end, return a string without the substring at the beginning, so "HelloHe" yields "lloHe". The substring may overlap with itself, so "Hi" yields "". Otherwise, return the original string unchanged.
without2("HelloHe") → "lloHe"
without2("HelloHi") → "HelloHi"
without2("Hi") → ""
Solution:
public String without2(String str) {
int len = str.length();
if (len == 2)
return "";
if (len < 2)
return str;
else {
if (str.substring(0,2).equals(str.substring(len-2, len)))
return str.substring(2,len);
else return str;
}
}
public String without2(String str) {
ReplyDeleteif(str.length()>1 && str.substring(0,2).equals(str.substring(str.length()-2)))
return str.substring(2,str.length());
else return str;
}
this one actually worked for me, the suggested solution in the main post didn't :) thanks!

Removed the extra bracket.
