How to reformat a phone number (string) to (###) ###-####?

[ccarter45]

I really need help with this. Your tips are greatly appreciated:

 import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class PhoneNumbers
{
 public static void main(String[] args){
    Scanner input;
 
       Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);//get user input
 
       System.out.print( "Please enter a phone number:");
 
       String word = scan.nextLine();
    int numOfDigits = word.length();
    boolean hasMoreDigits = false;
    boolean hasLessDigits = false;
 
    if(numOfDigits > 5){
      for (int i = 0; i < numOfDigits; ++i){
        if (numOfDigits < 10){
          hasLessDigits = true;
        }
        else if (numOfDigits > 10){
          hasMoreDigits = true;
        }
 
        if (hasLessDigits && hasMoreDigits){
          break; // check finished
        }
      }
 
      if (hasMoreDigits){
        System.out.println
          ("Your phone number has more than 10 digits!");
      }
      else if (hasLessDigits){
        System.out.println("Your phone number has less than 10 digits!");
      }
      else{
        System.out.println("Your phone number is 10 digits!");
 
    }
  }
}
 public static String reFormat (String word)
 {
   word = String.format("({0}) {1}-{2}",
    word.Substring(0, 3),
    word.Substring(3, 3),
    word.Substring(6));
 
 }}

Try to have some experiments on the code below...

System.out.printf("%s %d %.2f %.5f %c", "I love java",10, 1.2034, 1.1, 'z');

And try it to use String.format() instead of using System.out.printf...

HI...you can try the following code format to solve your problem.....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again: please don't feed boiler plate solution code; the OP won't learn anything
from copying/pasing code from somebody else. Read the forum guidelines about
this very matter (see the 'Help' link near the top right of this page). If you continue
posting code like this you risk a ban from this forum site. Don't do it anymore.
