Java Program to find shortest palindrome in string

  • We have a Letter or a word then we need add some letters to it and need to find out shortest palindrome 
  • For example we take "S":  S will be the shortest palindrome string.
  • If we take "xyz"zyxyz will be the shortest palindrome string
  • So we need to add some characters to the given string or character and find out what will be the shortest palindrome string by using simple java program.


Java example Program to find out shortest palindrome of given string


  1. package shortestpalindromeexample.java;
  2. import java.util.Scanner;
  3.  
  4. public class ShortestPalindromeDemo {
  5.  
  6. public static String shortestPalindrome(String str) {
  7.      
  8. int x=0;  
  9. int y=str.length()-1;
  10.      
  11.   while(y>=0){
  12.      if(str.charAt(x)==str.charAt(y)){
  13.           x++;
  14.          }
  15.             y--;
  16.   }
  17.  
  18. if(x==str.length())
  19. return str;
  20.  
  21. String suffix = str.substring(x);
  22. String prefix = new StringBuilder(suffix).reverse().toString();
  23. String mid = shortestPalindrome(str.substring(0, x));
  24.  
  25. return prefix+mid+suffix;
  26. }
  27.  
  28. public static void main(String[] args) {
  29.  
  30. Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
  31.  
  32. System.out.println("Enter a String to find out shortest palindrome");
  33.  
  34. String str=in.nextLine();
  35.  
  36. System.out.println("Shortest palindrome of "+str+" is "+shortestPalindrome(str));
  37.

Validate email address using javascript

  • One of the famous interview question in JavaScript : how to validate email address in JavaScript.
  • In order to validate a text field of HTML we need a JavaScript function.
  • On submit form we need to call a java script function to validate all fields in the form also known as client side validation.
  • Now on form submit we need to check email text field and validate it whether entered email is in correct format or not for ex: instanceofjava@gmail.com. 



JavaScript program for email validation:

  1. <!DOCTYPE html>
  2. <html>
  3. <head>
  4. <script>
  5. function validateEmailForm() {
  6.     var x = document.forms["Form_Name"]["txt_email"].value;
  7.     var atpos = x.indexOf("@");
  8.     var dotpos = x.lastIndexOf(".");
  9.     if (atpos<1 || dotpos<atpos+2 || dotpos+2>=x.length) {
  10.         alert("Not a valid e-mail address");
  11.         return false;
  12.     }
  13. }
  14. </script>
  15. </head>
  16.

  21. <input type="submit" value="Submit">
  22. </form>
  23. </body>
  24.  
  25. </html>

Validate email in java-script using regular expression: on submit form validation

  1. <!DOCTYPE html>
  2. <html>

Difference between Collections and Collection in java with example program

In Java, "Collection" refers to the interface that defines the basic properties and behaviors of a collection, while "Collections" is a utility class that provides static methods for working with collections.

The Collection interface is part of the Java Collections Framework and it is a root interface for all the collections. It defines the basic properties and behaviors that all collections should have, such as adding and removing elements, checking the size of the collection, and so on.
It includes List, Set and Queue interfaces.

On the other hand, the Collections class is a utility class that provides various static methods for working with collections, such as sorting, reversing, and searching. It also provides methods for creating unmodifiable collections, which are collections that cannot be modified after they are created.

Here are some examples of how we can use the Collections class:

To sort a List:

List<Integer> myList = new ArrayList<>();
myList.add(3);
myList.add(1);
myList.add(2);
Collections.sort(myList);

To reverse an array:

Collections.reverse(myList);

To create an unmodifiable collection:

List<Integer> unmodifiableList = Collections.unmodifiableList(myList);

It's worth noting that, the Collections class only provides static methods, it does not provide any instance methods. So, you can't create an object of the Collections class.

  • Famous java interview question: difference between collections and collection in java
  • Major difference between Collection and Collections is Collection is an interface and Collections is a class. 
  • Both are belongs to java.util package
  • Collection is base interface for list set and queue.
  • Collections is a class and it is called utility class.
  • Collections utility class contains some predefined methods so that we can use while working with Collection type of classes(treeset, arraylist, linkedlist etc.)
  • Collection is base interface for List , Set and Queue.



Collection vs Collections

  1. public interface Collection<E> 
  2. extends Iterable<E>


  1. public class Collections
  2. extends Object


difference between collections and collection in java

  • Collections utility class contains static utility methods so that we can use those methods by using class name without creating object of Collections class object
  • Lest see some methods of Collections class.


  1. addAll: public static <T> boolean addAll(Collection<? super T> c,T... elements)
  2. reverseOrder: public static <T> Comparator<T> reverseOrder()
  3. shuffle: public static void shuffle(List<?> list)
  4. sort:public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> void sort(List<T> list)
How to Relate Collection and Collections
  • ArrayList is a Collection type of class means it is implementing Collection interface internally
  • Now lets see a java example program to sort ArrayList of elements using Collections.sort() method.

  1. public class ArrayList<E>
  2. extends AbstractList<E>
  3. implements List<E>, RandomAccess, Cloneable, Serializable


1.Basic Java example program to sort arraylist of integers using Collections.sort() method

  1. package com.javasortarraylistofobjects;
  2.  
  3. import java.util.ArrayList;
  4. import java.util.Collections;
  5. import java.util.Iterator;
  6.  
  7. public class SortArrayListExample{
  8.  
  9. public static void main(String[] args) {
  10.   
  11. //create an ArrayList object
  12.  ArrayList<Integer> arrayList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
  13.        
  14.  //Add elements to Arraylist
  15. arrayList.add(10);
  16. arrayList.add(7);
  17. arrayList.add(11);
  18. arrayList.add(4);
  19. arrayList.add(9);
  20. arrayList.add(6);
  21. arrayList.add(2);
  22. arrayList.add(8);
  23. arrayList.add(5);
  24. arrayList.add(1);
  25.         
  26.         
  27.  System.out.println("Before sorting ArrayList ...");
  28.  Iterator itr=arrayList.iterator();
  29.         
  30. while (itr.hasNext()) {
  31.  
  32. System.out.println(itr.next());
  33.      
  34. }
  35.  
  36.        
  37.  /*
  38.  To sort an ArrayList object, use Collection.sort method. This is a
  39.   static method. It sorts an ArrayList object's elements into ascending order.
  40. */
  41.   Collections.sort(arrayList);
  42.      
  43.   System.out.println("After sorting ArrayList ...");
  44.        
  45.     
  46.         
  47. Iterator itr1=arrayList.iterator();
  48.         
  49. while (itr1.hasNext()) {

  50. System.out.println(itr1.next());
  51.             
  52. }
  53.     
  54.   
  55. }
  56. }
     


Output:

  1. Before sorting ArrayList ...

  4. 11
  5. 4
  6. 9
  7. 6
