CS173: Intro to Computer Science - Strings (3 Points)
Developed by Professor Tralie and Professor Mongan.Exercise Goals
The goals of this exercise are:- To iterate over
Stringvariables.
Strings are equal, by checking them character by character. Use this comparison function to determine if two Strings are palendromes of each other. Two Strings are palnendromes if their sorted characters are equal to one another. Loop over all characters up to the length of the string, and obtain each character using the str1.charAt(i) or the str1.substring(i, i+1) method (and str2.charAt(i) or the str2.substring(i, i+1), for the other string, as well).
