Working with Strings

In both python and Java, samples of working with common string operations: split, capitalization, concatenation, replacing characters, working with sentences.

Key differences:

• Python: Has built-in title(), capitalize() methods; f-strings for formatting
• Java: More verbose; often requires manual implementation or StringBuilder
• Python: Strings are immutable but syntax is cleaner

Binning of frequencies

Examples of python and java of using dict/hashmap for binning of 1) dice rolls, 2) letter frequency and 3) checking for existing keys.

Key patterns:

• Python: dict.get(key, default) and defaultdict(int) are idiomatic
• Java: map.getOrDefault(key, default) and map.merge() are modern approaches

Splitting a String

into a list or array of strings.

Key differences:

• Python returns a list directly
• Java returns an array (String[]), which you can convert to List if needed
• Python uses split() with no argument to split by any whitespace
• Java requires explicit delimiter - use split("\s+") for any whitespace

If you need to generate a random integer, a number from say, 1 to 6, you can write a couple routines:

Java

import java.util.Random;

int min = 1;
int max = 6;

Explanation:

import pandas as pd:

This line imports the pandas library, aliasing it as pd for convenience, which is a common convention.
