problem3 replace Write a method that accepts a String as a parameter and returns a String where every appearance of the lowercase word "are" has been replaced with "are not". The word "are" should not be immediately preceded or followed by a letter -- so for example the "are" in "care" or "scared" does not count. (Note: Character.isLetter (char) tests if a char is a letter.) Examples: problem3_replace ("are test"); // returns "are not tests" problem3_replace ("are-are"); // returns "are not-are not" problem3_replace ("These are right"); // returns "These are not right" problem3_replace ("I love Java!"); // returns "I love Java!" problem3_replace ("My favorite numbers are3 and 5."); // returns "My favorite numbers are not3 and 5." problem3_replace ("I dare you"); // returns "I dare you"
