Reverse Words in String without Changing Order

Learn to reverse the words in a Java String such that each word remains in its order, only the characters in the words are reversed in place using Java 8 Stream API and StringUtils classes.

Original String – “alex brian charles”

Reversed words – “xela nairb selrahc”

The algorithm to reverse each word is simple:

• Tokenize the string using String.split() method.
• Loop through string array using Stream and use StringBuilder.reverse() method to reverse each word.
• Join all reversed words by joining the Stream elements.

String input = "alex brian charles";

String reversed = Arrays.stream(input.split(" "))
    .map(word -> new StringBuilder(word).reverse())
    .collect(Collectors.joining(" "));

System.out.println(reversed);

Program output.

xela nairb selrahc

The StringUtils class is from the Apache command lang3 library. Its reverseDelimited() API reverses each word and joins the string back with the same delimiter. In our case, we will use a space character as delimiter.

String input = "alex brian charles";

String reversed = StringUtils.reverseDelimited(StringUtils.reverse(input), ' ');

System.out.println(reversed);

Program output.

xela nairb selrahc

In this post, we learned to reverse each word in a sentence in Java.

Happy Learning !!
