Answer:
import java.util.*;
public class MyClass {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Input a word: ");
String userinput = input.nextLine();
for(int i =0;i<userinput.length();i+=2) {
System.out.print(userinput.charAt(i));
}
}
}
Explanation:
This line prompts user for input
System.out.print("Input a word: ");
This declares a string variable named userinput and also gets input from the user
String userinput = input.nextLine();
The following iterates through every other character of userinput from the first using iteration variable i and i is incremented by 2
for(int i =0;i<userinput.length();i+=2) {
This prints characters at i-th position
System.out.print(userinput.charAt(i));
