Note If you don’t know how to solve an problem, or what is the function to be used, you could search on Internet for the answer using the API of the Java programming language. Indeed, since SARL is fully compatible with the Java API, you could use all the types or functions that are defined in this Java API.

1. Exercise 1

Write a SARL program to calculate the length of a string, providing on the command line.

Solution

2. Exercise 2

Write a SARL program to count the number of characters (character frequency) in a string.

• Sample String: google.com
• Expected Result: {'g': 2, 'o': 3, 'l': 1, 'e': 1, '.': 1, 'c': 1, 'm': 1}

Solution

3. Exercise 3

Write a SARL program to get a string made of the first 2 and last 2 characters of a given string (from the command line). If the string length is less than 2, return the empty string instead.

• Sample String: w3resource
• Expected Result: w3ce
• Sample String: w3
• Expected Result: w3w3
• Sample String: ` w`
• Expected Result: Empty String

Solution

4. Exercise 4

Write a SARL program to get a string from a given string (from the command line) where all occurrences of its first char have been changed to *, except the first char itself.

Solution

5. Exercise 5

Write a SARL program to get a single string from two given strings (from the command line), separated by a space and swap the first two characters of each string.

• Sample String: abc, xyz
• Expected Result: xyc abz

Solution

6. Exercise 6

Write a SARL program to add ing at the end of a given string (length should be at least 3). If the given string already ends with ing, add ly instead. If the string length of the given string is less than 3, leave it unchanged.

• Sample String: abc
• Expected Result: abcing
• Sample String: string
• Expected Result: stringly

Solution

7. Exercise 7

Write a SARL program to create a Caesar encryption.

Note In cryptography, a Caesar cipher, also known as Caesar’s cipher, the shift cipher, Caesar’s code or Caesar shift, is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques. It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example, with a left shift of 3, D would be replaced by A, E would become B, and so on. The method is named after Julius Caesar, who used it in his private correspondence.
