Define a class to declare an array to accept and store ten words. Display only those words which begin with the letter 'A' or 'a' and also end with the letter 'A' or 'a'.
EXAMPLE :
Input : Hari, Anita, Akash, Amrita, Alina, Devi Rishab, John, Farha, AMITHA
Output: Anita
Amrita
Alina
AMITHA
import java.util.Scanner;
public class RansariWords
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
String names[] = new String[10];
int l = names.length;
System.out.println("Enter 10 names : ");
for (int i = 0; i < l; i++)
{
names[i] = in.nextLine();
}
System.out.println("Names that begin and end with letter A are:");
for(int i = 0; i < l; i++)
{
String str = names[i];
int len = str.length();
char begin = Character.toUpperCase(str.charAt(0));
char end = Character.toUpperCase(str.charAt(len - 1));
if (begin == 'A' && end == 'A') {
System.out.println(str);
}
}

}First read the algorithm, then study the program code line by line. After that, compare the code with the output and finally go through the explanation. This approach helps learners understand both the logic and the implementation properly.
After understanding this example, try to rewrite the same program without looking at the code. Then change some values or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and keeps learners engaged on the page for longer.
