You should by now know to use a subject which tells what the thread is about.
1 2 3 4 or maybe it's 4 3 2 1.

Deepak, you might need to slow down and take a look at the links. Link number 2 in Ulf's message, for example, is to a tutorial on Reflection. The first sentence on the first page tells what reflection is used for. Likewise, the other links are excellent references for the questions you've asked. Since we don't know your current level of expertise, it's hard to know how to best answer your questions. "What's the difference between HashSet and TreeSet" can be answered in terms of APIs, algorithms, performance, behavior... there are many differences, but we don't know which really matter to you. Under some circumstances, an appropriate answer could even be "there's no difference"!

I'm glad you thought the references were excellent, Rob.

What have you done so far? Please Show Some Effort.

As for how to do this with regular expressions, look at java.util.regex.Pattern.

The alphanumeric checking is actually easy; you can write a class which does that in � hour.

Deepak, we're trying to help you, but you need to do your part.

If you want to be a programmer (or even if you just want to pass an intro programming class), you need to put your own logic into code. That comes with practice -- not by looking at code someone else has given to you. So please show us the code you've written so far, and we'll help you through the parts you're stuck on.

If this is an acute exasperation... uh, I mean exacerbation, I recommend Vicodin. But if it's a recurring obsession, I would opt for Zoloft.

If on the other hand, you have Campbell on the brain, I recommend potassium cyanide.

Anyone who has a better logic than the below code is welcomed to share his logic....

Working Code is as below....




If you have a better logic than above please share with me.....

That should work, and you are correct to try the non-regex solution first.
You should, however, be able to create a solution without a "return" in the middle of the method.

Go through the Character class; you will find all sorts of useful methods which will help you out.

Go through them and start by looking for their return types. Start here. Guess which return type you are looking for.

Learning to use the API is like learning to code your own logic. You won't get any practice if we do the work for you.

The "Character class" is already a big hint.
