The Question

Write a java program called Q2.java that will do the following:

prompt for and reads in a line of text and print out the input text with each 'a' in the input text replaced by a '*'. So, for example, for the input

All the world is a stage

the program should output

All the world is * st*ge

The output should conform to that in the sample runs of a correct program shown below. Note that, in these sample runs, the % sign is not part of the output. User input is shown on the same line as the prompt.

Sample Runs

% java Q2
Enter a line of text ... an example line
The changed line is: *n ex*mple line
%
% java Q2
Enter a line of text ... nothing here
The changed line is: nothing here
%
