JAVA CODING QUESTION

You have string A = "00011" and String B = "00000"

Code a for loop in java to count how many times there is a difference in a character when comparing the two strings

Looking at them we know they differ twice.

CODE A FOR LOOP THAT RETURNS HOW MANY TIMES THOSE TWO STRINGS DIFFER.

Answer 1

The code works will work for strings whose lengths are the same. Here is the output

The number of characters by which the two strings differ are 2

And here is the java code

public class Main
{
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            String A = new String("00011");
            String B = new String("00000");
            int difference=0;
            
            for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
            {
                if((int)A.charAt(i)!=(int)B.charAt(i))
                {
                    difference++;
                }
            }
                System.out.println("The number of characters by which the two strings differ are " + difference);
        }
}
