C#: Create a new string from a given string without the first and last character if the first or last characters are 'a' otherwise return the original given string
Remove 'a' if at Start or End
Write a C# Sharp program to create a string from a given string without the first and last character. This is if the first or last characters are 'a' otherwise return the original given string.
Visual Presentation:

Sample Solution:-
C# Sharp Code:
using System; // Importing the System namespace
namespace exercises // Defining a namespace called 'exercises'
{
class Program // Defining a class named 'Program'
{
static void Main(string[] args) // The entry point of the program
{
// Output the results of the test function with different strings as arguments
Console.WriteLine(test("abcab")); // Pass "abcab" to the test function and display the result
Console.WriteLine(test("python")); // Pass "python" to the test function and display the result
Console.WriteLine(test("abcda")); // Pass "abcda" to the test function and display the result
Console.WriteLine(test("jython")); // Pass "jython" to the test function and display the result
Console.ReadLine(); // Wait for user input before closing the console window
}
// Function definition of the test function that takes a string 's1' as input and returns a string
public static string test(string s1)
{
// If the length of 's1' is greater than 0 and the last character is "a", remove the last character
if (s1.Length > 0 && s1.Substring(s1.Length - 1) == "a")
{
s1 = s1.Remove(s1.Length - 1);
}
// If the length of 's1' is greater than 0 and the first character is "a", remove the first character
if (s1.Length > 0 && s1.Substring(0, 1) == "a")
{
s1 = s1.Remove(0, 1);
}
return s1; // Return the modified or unchanged 's1'
}
}
}
Sample Output:
bcab python bcd jython
Flowchart:

Go to:
PREV : Remove First Two Except 'p' and 'y'.
NEXT : Remove First Two 'a's if Present.
