1 Answer

0 votes
/**
 * Wraps a string into lines of maximum width w.
 * Words are kept intact; wrapping occurs between words.
 */
fun wrapText(text: String, width: Int): List<String> {
    val words = text.split(" ")
    val lines = mutableListOf<String>()

    var currentLine = StringBuilder()

    for (word in words) {
        // If adding this word exceeds the width, push the current line and start a new one
        if (currentLine.isNotEmpty() && currentLine.length + 1 + word.length > width) {
            lines.add(currentLine.toString())
            currentLine = StringBuilder()
        }

        // Add the word to the current line
        if (currentLine.isNotEmpty()) {
            currentLine.append(" ")
        }
        currentLine.append(word)
    }

    // Add the last line if not empty
    if (currentLine.isNotEmpty()) {
        lines.add(currentLine.toString())
    }

    return lines
}

fun main() {
    val text = "Kotlin is a modern programming language that makes developers happier."
    val width = 25

    val wrapped = wrapText(text, width)

    println("Wrapped text:")
    for (line in wrapped) {
        println(line)
    }
}



/*
run:

Wrapped text:
Kotlin is a modern
programming language that
makes developers happier.
