java replace ),Java replace()问题

我应该输入一个字符串,并用&,2,U和4替换所有,以及您的子字符串.

当我输入字符串“ and,and,and,to,to,to,to,you,you,you,for,for,for,a,a,e,e,i,i,o,o,u,u”时, ,它仅在我打印时输出.

public void simplify()

{

System.out.println("Enter a string to simplify: ");

String rope = in.next();

System.out.println(simplifier(rope));

}

public String simplifier(String rope)

{

rope = rope.replace(" and "," & ");

rope = rope.replace(" and"," &");

rope = rope.replace("and ","& ");

rope = rope.replace(" to "," 2 ");

rope = rope.replace(" to"," 2");

rope = rope.replace("to ","2 ");

rope = rope.replace(" you "," U ");

rope = rope.replace("you ","U ");

rope = rope.replace(" you"," U");

rope = rope.replace(" for "," 4 ");

rope = rope.replace("for ","4 ");

rope = rope.replace(" for"," 4");

rope = rope.replace("a ","");

rope = rope.replace(" a","");

rope = rope.replace("e ","");

rope = rope.replace(" e","");

rope = rope.replace("i ","");

rope = rope.replace(" i","");

rope = rope.replace(" o","");

rope = rope.replace("o ","");

rope = rope.replace("u ","");

rope = rope.replace(" u","");

System.out.print(rope);

return rope;

}

输出：和

似乎在第一个空格后切断了返回的字符串

我不知道发生了什么,为什么不按预期工作.

我究竟做错了什么？
