You don't need to convert the integer to string. Java will do that for you.
For getSuffix, you can inline it into one statement.
public String getSuffix(String input){
return input.substring(input.length() - 3);
}
If you don't inline it, be more descriptive with your variable name.
public String getSuffix(String input){
int strLength = input.length();
int suffixStartIndex = strLength - 3;
return input.substring(suffixStartIndex);
}
For compareTwoStrings, getFirstWord, getSecondWord, if you don't need to use the variable, you don't have to create one. So instead of
public Boolean compareTwoStrings(String inputValue, String comparableValue){
Boolean a = inputValue.equals(comparableValue);
return a;
}
You can write it as
public Boolean compareTwoStrings(String inputValue, String comparableValue){
return inputValue.equals(comparableValue);
}
For getMiddleCharacter this should not pass all the test.
Please clean up the string and predicate lab and send me a message on slack when you're done.
### Predicate
For the predicate, the comparison sign returns a boolean. So you don't have to do the if statement. You can say
```
public Boolean isGreaterThan(int x, int y) {
return x>y;
}
```
### String
- For the concat method, a shorter way to concat is this:
```
public String concatenation(int firstSegment, String secondSegment){
return firstSegment + secondSegment;
}
```
You don't need to convert the integer to string. Java will do that for you.
- For `getSuffix`, you can inline it into one statement.
```
public String getSuffix(String input){
return input.substring(input.length() - 3);
}

```
public String getSuffix(String input){
int strLength = input.length();
int suffixStartIndex = strLength - 3;
return input.substring(suffixStartIndex);
