Java Coding Challenges Interview Questions

Coding Challenge 1: Palindrome Check

Write a Java program to check if a given string is a palindrome.

Solution:

 import java.util.Scanner;

public class PalindromeCheck {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter a string: ");
        String input = scanner.nextLine();

        if (isPalindrome(input)) {
            System.out.println("The string is a palindrome.");
        } else {
            System.out.println("The string is not a palindrome.");
        }
    }

    private static boolean isPalindrome(String str) {
        String reversed = new StringBuilder(str).reverse().toString();
        return str.equals(reversed);
    }
}

Coding Challenge 2: Fibonacci Series

Problem: Write a Java program to print the Fibonacci series up to a given number of terms.

Solution:

 import java.util.Scanner;

public class FibonacciSeries {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter the number of terms in the Fibonacci series: ");
        int n = scanner.nextInt();

        printFibonacciSeries(n);
    }

    private static void printFibonacciSeries(int n) {
        int a = 0, b = 1;

        System.out.println("Fibonacci Series:");

        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            System.out.print(a + " ");

            int temp = a;
            a = b;
            b = temp + b;
        }
    }
}

Coding Challenge 3: Prime Number Check

Problem: Write a Java program to check if a given number is prime.

Solution:

 import java.util.Scanner;

public class PrimeNumberCheck {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
        int number = scanner.nextInt();

        if (isPrime(number)) {
            System.out.println(number + " is a prime number.");
        } else {
            System.out.println(number + " is not a prime number.");
        }
    }

    private static boolean isPrime(int num) {
        if (num <= 1) {
            return false;
        }

        for (int i = 2; i <= Math.sqrt(num); i++) {
            if (num % i == 0) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
}

 

Reverse a String

Problem: Write a Java program to reverse a given string without using any built-in functions or libraries.

Solution:

public class ReverseString {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String original = "Hello, World!";
        String reversed = reverseString(original);
        System.out.println("Original: " + original);
        System.out.println("Reversed: " + reversed);
    }

    private static String reverseString(String str) {
        char[] chars = str.toCharArray();
        int left = 0;
        int right = chars.length - 1;

        while (left < right) {
            char temp = chars[left];
            chars[left] = chars[right];
            chars[right] = temp;
            left++;
            right--;
        }

        return new String(chars);
    }
}
 

Find the First Non-Repeated Character

Problem: Write a Java program to find the first non-repeated character in a string.

Solution:

public class FirstNonRepeatedChar {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String input = "programming";
        char result = findFirstNonRepeatedChar(input);
        System.out.println("First non-repeated character: " + result);
    }

    private static char findFirstNonRepeatedChar(String str) {
        int[] charCount = new int[256];

        for (char ch : str.toCharArray()) {
            charCount[ch]++;
        }

        for (char ch : str.toCharArray()) {
            if (charCount[ch] == 1) {
                return ch;
            }
        }

        return '\0'; // Return null character if no non-repeated character is found
    }
}
