Answer 1

This sounds more like homework help so I'm not going to give you the code, here are a couple of methods...

You need to examine your string to find the letter Z, and if it's not there the letter Y, then X etc until you find the latest letter of the alphabet.

In: 'Hello' you want O.
In: 'Hi' you want 'I'
In: 'This is an amazing sentence' - you'd want Z.

You could loop through each letter in your string and determine it's ASCII value. Then find out which character has the highest ASCII value - then convert that back to text.

or

You could loop through the alphabet (backwards from Z-A)
And determine if the loop letter is in your string - jump out of the loop when you have a hit.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class t
{
public static void main(String [] args)throws Exception
{
//Welcome message:
System.out.println("Starting program... type a word or exit to terminate");
//Initialize input:
BufferedReader reader= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
//Our read string:
String str="";
//A loop is done until "exit" word is entered
do
{
//Read a string:
str=reader.readLine();
//Convert to UpperCase just to make things easy
str=str.toUpperCase();
//This var contains the greatest letter. Initialize to 0 to start comparation
char l=0;
//Look for the answer through all the string
for(int i=0;i {
//This is the key: find the greatest letter
if(str.charAt(i)>l)
l=str.charAt(i);
}
//Print result:
System.out.println("greatest letter for "+str+" is "+l);
}
while(!str.equals("EXIT"));
}
}
