Chapter 22 Exercise 1, Introduction to Java Programming, Tenth Edition Y. Daniel LiangY.

22.1 (Maximum consecutive increasingly ordered substring) Write a program that prompts the user to enter a string and displays the maximum consecutive
increasingly ordered substring. Analyze the time complexity of your program.

import java.util.*;

public class Exercise_22_01 {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  // Create a Scanner
  Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
  LinkedList<Character> max = new LinkedList<>();
  LinkedList<Character> list = new LinkedList<>();

  // Prompt the user to enter a string
  System.out.print("Enter a string: ");
  String string = input.nextLine(); 

  // Find the maximum consecutive increasingly ordered substring
  for (int i = 0; i < string.length(); i++) {   // single loop
   if (list.size() > 1 && string.charAt(i) <= list.getLast() && 
    list.contains(string.charAt(i))) {
    list.clear(); // Simple statement
   }

   list.add(string.charAt(i)); // Simple statement

   if (list.size() > max.size()) { // Simple statement
    max.clear();
    max.addAll(list);
   }
  }

  // Display the maximum consecutive 
  // increasingly ordered substring
  for (Character ch: max) { // single loop
   System.out.print(ch); // Simple statement
  }
  System.out.println();
 }
