Complete the GetNumOfCharacters() function, which returns the number of characters in the user's string. We encourage you to use a for loop in this function.
In main(), call the GetNumOfCharacters() function and then output the returned result. Implement the OutputWithoutWhitespace() function. OutputWithoutWhitespace() outputs the string's characters except for whitespace (spaces, tabs). Note: A tab is '\t'. Call the OutputWithoutWhitespace() function in main().

Solution and Explanation:

//Code to copy

//Program  

//Import the necessary libraries

import java.util.Scanner;  

//Define the class

public class CountStringCharacters

{

//Start the main method

public static void main(String[] args)

{

//Prompt the user to enter the input line

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter a sentence or phrase: ");

String s = scan.nextLine();    

//Take the number of characters and keep the count

int numOfCharacters = getNumOfCharacters(s);

System.out.println("You entered: "+s);

System.out.println("Number of characters: "+numOfCharacters);    

//Call the method outputWithoutWhitespace

outputWithoutWhitespace(s);

}

//The method getNumOfCharacters

public static int getNumOfCharacters(String s)

{

int numOfCharCount = 0;

for(int i=0; i<s.length();i++)

{

numOfCharCount++;

}

return numOfCharCount;

}  

//Definition of the method outputWithoutspace

public static void outputWithoutWhitespace(String s)

{

String str = "";

for(int i=0; i<s.length();i++)

{

char ch = s.charAt(i);

if(ch != ' ' && ch != '\t')

str = str + ch;

}

System.out.println("String with no whitespace: "+str);

}  

}

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
