Question

Write a function that takes two string parameters which represent the names of two people and returns True if the people are a "match" and False if they are not.

Determining Love

Total all the ‘L’s ‘O’s ‘V’s and ‘E’s (uppercase and lowercase) found in each of their names.

• If the number of LOVE letters combined between both their names is odd, return True.
• If the number of LOVE letter combined between both their names is even, return False.

* Note that this function should have NO SIDE EFFECTS - which means that the print statement should not be in the function itself, but rather in the main.

As per the question please find below the answer :-

Code in JAVA:-

import java.util.Scanner;

public class LoveMatch {

   public static boolean loveMatch(String name, String partnerName) {
       boolean match = true;
       int loveMatchCondition = 0;
       String[] nameArr = name.split("");
       String[] partnerNameArr = partnerName.split("");
       int countName = 0, countPartnerName = 0;
       for (int i = 0; i < nameArr.length; i++) {
           if (nameArr[i].equalsIgnoreCase("l") || nameArr[i].equalsIgnoreCase("o") || nameArr[i].equalsIgnoreCase("v")
                   || nameArr[i].equalsIgnoreCase("e"))
               ++countName;
       }
       for (int i = 0; i < partnerNameArr.length; i++) {
           if (partnerNameArr[i].equalsIgnoreCase("l") || partnerNameArr[i].equalsIgnoreCase("o")
                   || partnerNameArr[i].equalsIgnoreCase("v") || partnerNameArr[i].equalsIgnoreCase("e"))
               ++countPartnerName;
       }
       loveMatchCondition = countName + countPartnerName;
       if (loveMatchCondition % 2 == 0)
           match = false;
       else
           match = true;

       return match;
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
       Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
       String personOne, personTwo;
       personOne = sc.nextLine();
       personTwo = sc.nextLine();
       if (loveMatch(personOne, personTwo)) {
           System.out.println("True");
       } else
           System.out.println("False");

       sc.close();
   }

}

Thank You!!!
