No E Allowed

Collapse Content Show Content

The Kingdom of Zumbania decided to ban the letter 'e'. Create a method that replaces every 'e' in a String with an 'a'.

Note: Capital E's should be replaced with Capital A's.

Replace every 'e' with an 'a' and return the 'sanitized' String.

@David, search for 'replace' on the Learneroo or Oracle Java reference (linked to on sidebar).

I understand that String are not mutable. However i can not manage to print "Avarything Has Changad" as a single word, instead it is done as 3 different words...

I have tried with replace previously and had the exact same issue where it prints:

Avarything
Has
Changad

Instead of:

Avarything Has Changad

cont...
As per the correct output.

So my point is i have been able to do the changes accordingly through several ways, the problem is that its always returned as three different strings rather than a unique one.

Look, even if i return just 'word' without doing any modification, the "Everything Has Changed" is still cut off:

Correct Output

alaphant
Angland
string
Avarything Has Changad
oranga
aal

Your Output

elephant
England
string
Everything
Has
Changed
