Write code to take a String input from the user, then print the first and last letters of the string on one line. Sample run: En

ter a string: surcharge se Hint - we saw in the lesson how to get the first letter of a string using the substring method. Think how you could use the .length() String method to find the index of the last character, and how you could use this index in the substring method to get the last character.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

//import the Scanner class to allow for user input

import java.util.Scanner;

//Begin class definition

public class FirstAndLast{

   //Begin the main method

    public static void main(String []args){

       

       

       //****create an object of the Scanner class.

       //Call the object 'input' to receive user's input

       //from the console.

       Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

       

       //****create a prompt to tell the user what to do.

       System.out.println("Enter the string");

       

       //****receive the user's input

       //And store it in a String variable called 'str'

       String str =  input.next();

       

       //****get and print the first character.

       //substring(0, 1) - means get all the characters starting

       //from the lower bound (index 0) up to, but not including the upper

       //bound(index 1).

       //That technically means the first character.

       System.out.print(str.substring(0,1));

       

       //****get and print the last character

       //1. str.length() will return the number of character in the string 'str'.

       //This is also the length of the string

       //2. substring(str.length() - 1) - means get all the characters starting

       // from index that is one less than the length of the string to the last

       // index (since an upper bound is not specified).

       // This technically means the last character.

       System.out.print(str.substring(str.length()-1));

       

       

       

    }  // end of main method

   

} //end of class definition

The waterfall model and spiral model are variations of SDLC. Do some research to find out what they are and explain how these mo
Radda [10]

Waterfall model and spiral model are used in software development life cycle or SDLC. Any software development process follows one of these models depending on the type of software and the requirements of the customer.

Waterfall model

This model is called as sequential model since it works in stages. The output of first stage becomes the input of the second stage.

The errors of the first stage can be rectified only when it is completed. This is time consuming and makes the process lengthy. Stage 1 is completed before stage 2 begins.

The six stages involved in waterfall model are Requirement Gathering and analysis, System Design, Implementation, Integration and Testing, Deployment of system, and Maintenance.

Spiral model

This model is implemented in iterations. It is also called evolutionary model.  

Initially a prototype of the system is prepared. Then, it is followed by development of small parts of the system.

These smaller parts are then assembled to produce the final system.

The four stages which form the spiral model are Identification, Design, Development and Evaluation and Risk Analysis.

The differences between the two models are summarized below.

1. Waterfall model works in linear method. Spiral model follows evolutionary method.

2. Errors and risks are discovered/ rectified after the stage is over. Errors and risks are discovered/ rectified earlier.

3. Waterfall model is suitable for small projects. Spiral model is suitable for large projects.

4. Requirements identification and planning is the initial stage in the waterfall model. Requirements identification and planning is done when needed, in the spiral model.

5. Waterfall model allows little to no flexibility in the system. Spiral model allows flexibility in the system.

6. Low flexibility makes the waterfall model more risky. High flexibility makes the spiral model less risky.

7. Waterfall model, overall, takes less time since requirements are clear. Spiral model is implemented when the requirements of the system are not clear and become clear through prototypes.

In Microsoft word,when you highlight existing text you want to replace ,you’re in?
Lerok [7]

In Microsoft Word, when you highlight existing text you want to replace, you are in overtype or typeover mode. However, this may also be the case when you are in the Find and Replace tool, where you will type in all the exact phrases or words that will eventually be highlighted and then be replaced in just one click.
