7.9 Lab: Decoder part 1 (string comparison)

This program will translate known text message abbreviations to their actual meanings in unabbreviated form.

(1) Implement for Tests 1 - 3:
Read an input string from the user.
If the user's input string matches a known text message abbreviation,
      Output the unabbreviated form
      Otherwise output: Unknown.

Support two abbreviations:
LOL -- laughing out loud
IDK -- I don't know

Sample input/output:

(2) Implement for Tests 4 - 6:
Expand to also decode these abbreviations.
      BFF -- best friends forever
      IMHO -- in my humble opinion

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TextMsgAbbreviation {
public static void main(String[] args) {
/* Type your code here. */
  
return;
}
}

7.10 Lab: Decoder part 2 (string search)

This program will find known text message abbreviations within a string and translate them to their actual meanings in unabbreviated form.

(1) Implement for Tests 1 & 2:
Use nextLine() with a Scanner object variable to read one line of user input into a String variable.
    Then output the line, as shown below.

Example:

(2) Implement for Tests 3 - 5: (Test 5 is a blind test)
Search the user input string (using indexOf()) to find the common abbreviations listed below
    and print a list of each found abbreviation along with its decoded meaning.
    NOTE: Each abbreviation will appear no more than once in the text.

Example:

Support these abbreviations (searching for them, in the order listed):
    BFF -- best friend forever
    IDK -- I don't know
    JK -- just kidding
    LOL -- laughing out loud
    TTYL -- talk to you later

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TextMsgDecoder {
public static void main(String[] args) {
/* Type your code here. */
  
return;
}
}

Explanation / Answer

TextMsgDecoder.java

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TextMsgDecoder {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String IDK = "I don't know";

String JK = "just kidding";

String TMI = "too much information";

String BFF = "best friend forever";

String TTYL = "talk to you later";

System.out.println("Enter text: ");

Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);

String inString = scnr.nextLine();

System.out.print("You entered: ");

System.out.print(inString);

System.out.println();

if (inString.indexOf("BFF") != -1)

System.out.println("BFF: " + BFF);

if (inString.indexOf("IDK") != -1)

System.out.println("IDK: " + IDK);

if (inString.indexOf("JK")!= -1)

System.out.println("JK: " + JK);

if (inString.indexOf("TMI")!= -1)

System.out.println("TMI: " + TMI);

if (inString.indexOf("TTYL")!= -1)

System.out.println("TTYL: " + TTYL);

return;

}

}

Output:

Enter text:
IDK if I'll go. It's my BFF's birthday.
You entered: IDK if I'll go. It's my BFF's birthday.
BFF: best friend forever
IDK: I don't know
