} // End of Acronym class

[画像:Write a static method called "acronym" that takes as a parameter a String containing a phrase and that returns an acronym for the phrase. For example, the following call: acronym("self contained underwater breathing apparatus") should return "SCUBA". The acronym is formed by combining the capitalized first letters of each word in the phrase. Words in the phrase will be separated by some combination of spaces or tabs. There might be extra spaces at the beginning or end of the phrase. The String will not contain any characters other than spaces, and letters, and is guaranteed to contain at least one word. You may use the following code to test your program: Expected output is listed to the right of the method calls. import java.util.*; public class Acronym { public static void main (String [] args) { System.out.println(acronym(" automatic teller System.out.println(acronym("personal identification number")); System.out.println(acronym("computer science"); System.out.println(acronym("merry go round")); System.out.println(acronym("All my Children")); System.out.println(acronym("Troubled Assets Relief Program")); System.out.println(acronym("quite confusing punctuation ")); System.out.println(acronym(" loner } // *** Your method code goes here *** } // End of Acronym class // "ATM" // "PIN" machine ")); // "CS" // "MGR" // "AMC" // "TARP" // "QCP" "); // "L" ]
