Have a look at the split() method in the API documentation for java.lang.String. That should do what you need.Brian

I think the request was to concatenate the names, not split them.last = "Smith";first = "John";lastFirst = last + ", " + first;

Is it this what do you wanna do?

public class SplitName {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String name = "Jordan, Michael";

String lastname = "";

int low = 0;

int high = name.length()-1;

String x = "";

while(low <high){

if(name.charAt(low) != ',')

lastname += name.charAt(low);

x += name.charAt(high);

low++;

high -- ;

}

StringBuffer firstname = new StringBuffer(x).reverse();

System.out.println(lastname);

System.out.print(firstname);

}

I think String.split() or String.substring() would be better options. However as pointed out in reply #2, OP wants concatenation not splitting.

I wouldn't assume so much. For all you know your questions may appear "too easy" to people here as well. It's not a logical conclusion that ANYTHING in forums like these must be too easy for someone to ask about it.
