Question

These are the instructions for a java file. We have not learned array of string or anything that complex. I am trying to solve this possibly using the IndexOf method.

13.4 Assignment 4: Formal Name Generator Complete the generateFormalName method so that... you return the formal name (Mr. or Ms. + last name) given a full name and gender (Strings) as parameters. --You can assume a valid name & gender (any case allowed) is passed in. Example 1: ("Bob Smith", "MALE") passed in should generate "Mr. Smith" Example 2: ("Maggie May", "feMALE") passed in should generate "Ms. May" Tip 1: You are given a String formalName initialized to the empty String -- you will want to concatenate other Strings onto this to produce the full formalName. Tip 2: Write your algorithm in English first. Tip 3: Think of all of the methods at your disposal and which could be helpful.

Answer 1

public class StringPractice {

    public String generateFormalName(String fullName, String gender) {
        String formalName = "";

        if (gender.equalsIgnoreCase("male")) {
            formalName += "Mr. ";
        } else {
            formalName += "Ms. ";
        }

        int index = fullName.indexOf(' ');
        formalName += fullName.substring(index + 1);

        return formalName;
    }
}
