Java programming Exercises: Remove all the vowels of a given string and return the new string

Java Regular Expression: Exercise-15 with Solution

Write a Java program to remove all the vowels of a given string. Return the new string.

Here we consider a, e, i, o, u are vowels (not y).

Sample Solution-1:

Java Code:

public class test {
 
   public static void main(String[] args) {	   
	    String text ="LOWERED";
		System.out.println("Original string: "+text);
		System.out.println("After removing vowels: New string: "+validate(text));
		text ="Java";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal string: "+text);
		System.out.println("After removing vowels: New string: "+validate(text));
		text ="MID-CENTRALIZED";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal string: "+text);
		System.out.println("After removing vowels: New string: "+validate(text));
		text ="C++";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal string: "+text);
		System.out.println("After removing vowels: New string: "+validate(text));
        }

   public static String validate(String text) {
	   String result = text.replaceAll("(?i)[aeiou]", "");
	   return result;
  }
}

Sample Output:

Original string: LOWERED
After removing vowels: New string: LWRD

Original string: Java
After removing vowels: New string: Jv

Original string: MID-CENTRALIZED
After removing vowels: New string: MD-CNTRLZD

Original string: C++
After removing vowels: New string: C++

Sample Solution-2:

Java Code:

public class test {
 
   public static void main(String[] args) {	   
	    String text ="LOWERED";
		System.out.println("Original string: "+text);
		System.out.println("After removing vowels: New string: "+validate(text));
		text ="Java";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal string: "+text);
		System.out.println("After removing vowels: New string: "+validate(text));
		text ="MID-CENTRALIZED";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal string: "+text);
		System.out.println("After removing vowels: New string: "+validate(text));
		text ="C++";
		System.out.println("\nOriginal string: "+text);
		System.out.println("After removing vowels: New string: "+validate(text));
        }

   public static String validate(String text) {
	   String result = text.replaceAll("[aeiouAEIOU]","");
	   return result;
  }
}

Sample Output:

Original string: LOWERED
After removing vowels: New string: LWRD

Original string: Java
After removing vowels: New string: Jv

Original string: MID-CENTRALIZED
After removing vowels: New string: MD-CNTRLZD

Original string: C++
After removing vowels: New string: C++

Java: Tips of the Day

What is the best way to filter a Java Collection?

Java 8 (2014) solves this problem using streams and lambdas in one line of code:

List<Person> beerDrinkers = persons.stream()
    .filter(p -> p.getAge() > 16).collect(Collectors.toList());

Use Collection#removeIf to modify the collection in place. (Notice: In this case, the predicate will remove objects who satisfy the predicate):

persons.removeIf(p -> p.getAge() <= 16);

lambdaj allows filtering collections without writing loops or inner classes:

List beerDrinkers = select(persons, having(on(Person.class).getAge(),
    greaterThan(16)));
