After querying a string, I try to display the middle three characters of this string. How should I do it?
here is what i tried:
String middle3 = (string.length < 3) ? null : string.substring(string.length / 2 - 1), string.length / 2 + 2);
lengthis a method of the String class , so you need to use ():
length
()
String middle3 = (string.length() < 3) ? null : string.substring(string.length() / 2 - 1, string.length() / 2 + 2);
This will work for any line that is odd, length> 3
String word = "Hello"; int midCharsStart = ((word.length() + 1) / 2) - 2; int midCharsEnd = midCharsStart + 3; System.out.println(word.substring(midCharsStart, midCharsEnd));
