Question:
Write a static method called "acronym" that takes as a parameter a String containing a phrase and that returns an acronym for the phrase. For example, the following call:
acronym("self contained underwater breathing apparatus")
should return "SCUBA".
The acronym is formed by combining the capitalized first letters of each word in the phrase. Words in the phrase will be separated by some combination of spaces or tabs. There might be extra spaces at the beginning or end of the phrase. The String will not contain any characters other than spaces, and letters, and is guaranteed to contain at least one word.
import java.util.*;
public class Acronym {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(acronym(" automatic teller machine ")); // "ATM"
System.out.println(acronym("personal identification number")); // "PIN"
System.out.println(acronym("computer science")); // "CS"
System.out.println(acronym("merry go round")); // "MGR"
System.out.println(acronym("All my Children")); // "AMC"
System.out.println(acronym("Troubled Assets Relief Program")); // "TARP"
System.out.println(acronym("quite confusing punctuation ")); // "QCP"
System.out.println(acronym(" loner ")); // "L"
}
// *** Your method code goes here ***
} // End of Acronym class
