Question

DESCRIPTION:

The purpose of this question is offload processing from the main method to a static helper method. You will be given the main method. Do not alter this code.

Your goal is to write a new method called oddOneOut, which will accept a String, and print it in out every other letter.

For example, if the String was "abcdefghijk", the oddOneOut method will return "acegik" .

METHOD INPUT:

• A string

METHOD PROCESSING:

• Do not alter the  main method.
• Complete the static method oddOneOut:
  • This method accepts a String as an argument and returns a string with that includes every other letter of the original string (i.e. removes all characters with an odd index).

RETURN VALUE:

• Return a string containing every other letter (starting with the first) of the original string.

Sample input/output:

ARGUMENT INPUT	RETURN VALUE
I really like ice cream!	Iral ieiecem
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ	ACEGIKMOQSUWY
Angela Siegel	Agl igl

Given code:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Question1 {
  
/**
* oddOneOut method
*/
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

   /*=====================================
   || DO NOT ALTER CODE BELOW THIS LINE ||
   =====================================*/
  
public static void main(String[] args) {

//creating a scanner, reading input
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

String s = in.nextLine();
  
//calling the oddOneOut() method
System.out.println(oddOneOut(s));

}
}

`Hey,

Note: If you have any queries related to the answer please do comment. I would be very happy to resolve all your queries.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Question1 {
  
/**
* oddOneOut method
*/
  
public static String oddOneOut(String s)
{
String ns="";
for(int i=0;i<s.length();i=i+2)
{
ns=ns+String.format("%c",s.charAt(i));
}
return ns;
}
  
  
  
  
  

/*=====================================
|| DO NOT ALTER CODE BELOW THIS LINE ||
=====================================*/
  
public static void main(String[] args) {

//creating a scanner, reading input
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

String s = in.nextLine();
  
//calling the oddOneOut() method
System.out.println(oddOneOut(s));

}
}
