This is the proper declaration for main()

This will not work in cases where a double letter is repeated more than once in the input. E.g. "little little little"
Besides, 'i' is already the index.

class Abc
{
   static void main() throws IOException
   {
   BufferedReader obj= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
   System.out.println("Input a String");
   String s= obj.readLine();
   s=s+" ";
   for(int i=0;i<(s.length()-1);i++)
   {
        System.out.println("The chars to check:"+s.charAt(i)+" "+s.charAt(i+1));
       if( s.charAt(i)== s.charAt(i+1))
       {
           System.out.println("The position of the character is:"+(s.indexOf(s.charAt(i+1))));
       }
}}}



Dipanjan, use available data structures, put it in a Map<Char, Integer>, get the stream of that and use a lambda to get at a Collection<Char> with the condition that the Integer in that Map would be > 1, something like that. Or use loops. But definitely use a Map<Char, Integer>.

Then, loop through the char array of that String and make another Map<Char, List<Integer>> and add to that list when you encounter that char...

You will end up with a Map that has a Char key and a List of its locations with the String you're parsing.

You can then use that data for further analysis on these chars.

With best regards,

Anton.

Anton,
what you're proposing is not in line with the requirements. "little" has a double letter 't', and "tight" has no double letters, but would show up as 't' in your proposal.

Surely you mean Character. Char class doesn't exist in Java.

Try reading in a line and tokenize the line just read and use your existing logic to determine double letter existence in every word in that line. Repeat the same logic for every line until EOF.

What you really want is - if the double letter existence in a word but not in a line. Latter would not serve the purpose at all. If what I understand you want is right.

Do you have any issues with your app? We don't see any questions. And if there are 'ttt' word, what position should be printed? (0 or 1) or (0 and 1) or (none)?

Carey though already mentioned that code wont compile, so it is one of the problems you are having currently. Also it has been suggested how to fix 'main' in order to have a valid starting point.

Code formatting and indentation are terrible, I'd fix that too.
 
yeah, but ... what would PIE do? Especially concerning this tiny ad:
