Question

1. Write a program that prompts the user enter a word, and determines the first half and second half of the word. Print the first and second half of the word on different lines. Sample runs of the program are shown below. Note: If the word is an odd number of letters, the first half should contain fewer letters (as shown in sample run #2)

SAMPLE PROGRAM RUN #1                    

Enter a word: carrot

First half: car

Second half: rot

SAMPLE PROGRAM RUN #2                            

Enter a word: plant

First half: pl

Second half: ant

Complete your answer by typing code below

import java.util.Scanner;

public class WordHalves

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Enter a word: ");

String word = reader.nextLine();

}

}

Answer 1

OUTPUT :

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a word: ");
String word = reader.nextLine();
// word.length() returns length of the string
int length = word.length();
// mid - the middle value
int mid = length/2;
// obtaining first half and second half using substring
String first_half = word.substring(0,mid);
String second_half = word.substring(mid);
System.out.println("First half : "+first_half);
System.out.println("Second half : "+second_half);
   }
}

OUTPUT:
