Question

Write a program to accept a word and print the Symbolic of the accepted word.

Symbolic word is formed by extracting the characters from the first consonant, then add characters before the first consonant of the accepted word and end with “TR”.

Example: AIRWAYS Symbolic word is RWAYSAITR

BEAUTY Symbolic word is BEAUTYTR

Answer 1

import java.util.Scanner;

public class SymbolicWord {
    public static String toSymbolic(String word) {
        String w = word;
        int n = w.length();
        String vowels = "AEIOUaeiou"; // Added lowercase for safety
        int firstConsonant = -1;

        // Find the position of the first consonant
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            char c = w.charAt(i);
            if (Character.isLetter(c) && vowels.indexOf(c) == -1) {
                firstConsonant = i;
                break;
            }
        }

        // Apply the rules
        if (firstConsonant == -1) {
            return w + "TR";
        } else {
            String suffix = w.substring(firstConsonant);
            String prefix = w.substring(0, firstConsonant);
            return suffix + prefix + "TR";
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter a word: ");
        String s = sc.next();
        System.out.println("Symbolic word: " + toSymbolic(s));
        sc.close();
    }
}
