Explanation / Answer

Hi Sir, I will demonstrate an easy way how to handle this situation, via Java program:-

1. Create a Map<String, String> and in that map store Abbreviation along with full extrended name with spacing format that you want. See code below.

2. Now from main just pass the Abbreviation, you can automatically get the extended full name with correct spacing that you desire. No overhead in spacing while displaying the value so obtained.

import java.util.HashMap;

import java.util.Map;

public class Abbreviation {

private static Map<String, String> abbreviationMap = new HashMap<String, String>();

static{

abbreviationMap.put("LOL", "Laugh out Loud");

abbreviationMap.put("BFF", "Best Friends Forever");

// keep adding all abbreviations you have in a similiar manner

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

String abbName = "LOL";

String fullName = abbreviationMap.get(abbName);

System.out.println(fullName);

}

}

Please let me know in case of any clarifications required. Thanks!
