Move all special char to the end of the String

In this article, we will learn how to move all special char to the end of the String.

Examples:

Input : !@$%^&*AJAY
Output :AJAY!@$%^&*

Input :Geeksf!@orgeek@s A#$ c%o^mputer s****cience p#o@rtal fo@r ge%eks
Output :Geeksforgeeks A computer science portal for geeks!@@#$%^****#@@%



Prerequisite : Regular Expressions in Java

The idea is to traverse input string and maintain two strings, one string that contains normal characters (a, A, 1, ‘ ‘, etc) and other string that maintains special characters (@, $, etc). Finally, concatenate the two strings and return.

Here is the implementation of above approach

// Java program move all special char to the end of the string
class GFG1 {
  
    // Function return a string with all special 
    // chars to the end
    static String moveAllSC(String str)
    {
        // Take length of string
        int len = str.length();
  
        // regular expression for check char is special
        // or not.
        String regx = "[a-zA-Z0-9\\s+]";
  
        // traverse string
        String res1 = "", res2 = "";
        for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
          
            char c = str.charAt(i);
  
            // check char at index i is a special char
            if (String.valueOf(c).matches(regx)) 
               res1 = res1 + c;
            else
               res2 = res2 + c;
        }
        return res1 + res2;
    }
  
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        String str = "Geeksf!@orgeek@s A#$ c%o^mputer"
                     + " s****cience p#o@rtal fo@r ge%eks";
        System.out.println(moveAllSC(str));
    }
}

# Python3 program move all special char

# to the end of the string 


# Function return a string with all

# special chars to the end

def moveAllSC(string): 


	# Take length of string

	length = len(string)


	# Traverse string

	res1, res2 = “”, “”

	for i in range(0, length): 


		c = string[i] 


		# check char at index i is a special char

		if c.isalnum() or c == ” “:

			res1 = res1 + c

		else:

			res2 = res2 + c 


	return res1 + res2 


# Driver Code

if __name__ == “__main__”: 


	string = “Geeksf!@orgeek@s A#$ c%o^mputer” \

			+” s****cience p#o@rtal fo@r ge%eks”


	print(moveAllSC(string))
