[deepika deepi]

hi Good evening,

i am writing an code to display the words with bracket in the result. for example

apple
mango
banana
orange
are the inputs and i want the result like this

(apple)
(mango)
(banana)
(orange)

I take the input in a string

String[] fruits = (" apple", "mango", "banana", "orange");

fruits = "(fruits)";

System.out.println(fruits);

can any one help to get hte expected result?

A string or an array of strings?

Loop over the array and print each of the elements between brackets. Please try to write some code yourself first, and if you get stuck, post it here and we can help you further.

If you want to know how to make a loop, see The for Statement in Oracle's Java Tutorials.

you want to surround fruits string by parenthesis?

Well for something as simple as that you could use String concatenation; but personally, I like String.format().
Well worth getting to know.
