There is of course a replace() function in java that lets you do this without a while loop. If you want to do it letter by letter, it gets a little complicated because you have to take care not to index the string outside its bounds.
I did not bother to create a separate runner class. The Main is just inside this class and everything is static.
public class LetterRemover {
public static String RemoveLetters(String s, char c)
{
int loc = s.indexOf(c);
while(loc >= 0)
{
if (loc == 0) {
s = s.substring(1);
} else if (loc == s.length()-1) {
s = s.substring(0, loc);
} else {
s = s.substring(0, loc) + s.substring(loc+1);
}
loc = s.indexOf(c);
}
return s;
}
public static void Test(String s, char c) {
System.out.format("%s - letter to remove %c\n%s\n", s, c, RemoveLetters(s,c));
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Test("I am Sam I am", 'a');
Test("ssssssssxssssesssssesss", 's');
Test("qwertyqwertyqwerty", 'a');
}
}
