Introduction This lab mainly focuses on loops and nested loops. But since strings are processed, materials learned from previous chapters will also be needed. This lab gives you another opportunity to practice your Java coding skills. Lab objectives After completing this lab, you should be able to: (1) use simple loops and nested loops to implement codes in practice, (2) let the program handle multiple user inputs, (3) apply various designated string methods to perform particular tasks, and (4) further debug and test the program. Assignment In this lab, you will create an environment where the user can enter a sentence (a string) and manipulate that string with 5 basic commends. The manipulations will further affect the successive commands that they make. The 5 basic operations/commands are as follows: 1) Reverse: If the user types "reverse" with any capitalization, the program will reverse the original string and print the result. e.g. abcd à dcba 2) Replace First: If the user types "replace first" with any capitalization, the program will prompt the user to enter the character to replace and the new character to replace the old character. The program will then replace the first instance of the old character with the new character (see more examples at the end of the document) and print the modified string. e.g. BBCD à ABCD (if the user intends to replace the first letter B with A) 3) Replace Last: If the user types "replace last" with any capitalization, the program will prompt the user to enter the character to replace and the new character to replace the old character. The program will replace the last instance of the old character with the new character (see more examples at the end of the document) and print the modified string. e.g. ABCE à ABCD (if the user intends to replace the last letter E with D) 4) Remove: If the user types "remove" with any capitalization, the program will prompt the user to enter the character to remove, and which instance it should remove -- if
