Question

Complete the generateFormalName method so that… you return the formal name (Mr. or Ms. + last name) given a full name and gender (Strings) as parameters.

--You can assume a valid name & gender (any case allowed) is passed in. Example 1: ("Bob Smith", "MaLE") passed in should generate "Mr. Smith" Example 2: ("Maggie May", "feMALE") passed in should generate "Ms. May"

Tip 1: You are given a String formalName initialized to the empty String -- you will want to concatenate other Strings onto this to produce the full formalName.

Tip 2: Write your algorithm in English first.

Tip 3: Think of all of the methods at your disposal and which could be helpful.

Given Code:

public class StringPractice {

   public String generateFormalName(String fullName, String gender)
   {
       String formalName = "";
      
       //Insert your code here:
      
       return formalName;
   }

}

public class StringPractice
{
   public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception
   {
       System.out.println(generateFormalName("Maggie May", "feMALE"));
   }
   public static String generateFormalName(String fullName, String gender)
{
String formalName = "";
  
String[] arrOfStr = fullName.split("\\s");
if(gender.toLowerCase().equals("female"))
{
   formalName="Ms. "+arrOfStr[1];
}
else if(gender.toLowerCase().equals("male"))
{
   formalName="Mr. "+arrOfStr[1];
}
  
return formalName;
}
