This code replaces all occurrences of the character 'z'
in the string S
with the character 'p'
. Here's how it works step by step:
-
String S = "razzle-dazzle";
InitializesS
with the value"razzle-dazzle"
. -
int k;
Declares an integer variablek
. -
k = S.indexOf("z");
Finds the index of the first occurrence of the character'z'
inS
and assigns it tok
. If'z'
is not found, it will assign-1
. -
while(k != -1)
This loop executes as long ask
is not-1
(i.e., there are still occurrences of'z'
in the string). -
Inside the loop:
-
S = S.substring(0, k) + "p" + S.substring(k+1);
This replaces the character'z'
at positionk
with'p'
.S.substring(0, k)
gives the part of the string before the'z'
."p"
is added in place of'z'
.S.substring(k+1)
gives the part of the string after the'z'
.
-
k = S.indexOf("z");
Searches for the next occurrence of'z'
.
-
-
The loop repeats until no more
'z'
is found, at which pointk
becomes-1
and the loop exits. -
System.out.println(S);
Prints the modified string.
Output:
The original string "razzle-dazzle"
has three occurrences of 'z'
. They are replaced by 'p'
, resulting in:
"rapple-dapple"
This is the output of the program.
