How to Implement a Vehicle Registration Number Validator in Java

When it comes to working with vehicle registration numbers, ensuring they are formatted correctly is crucial. A well-structured registration number not only adheres to specific conventions but may also contain special properties, like being a "lucky number." In this guide, we’ll explore how to create a vehicle registration number validator in Java, which checks whether the format of the registration number is valid and whether it meets specific criteria.

The Problem

We need to validate vehicle registration numbers that follow a particular format. The format is as follows:

PP: Should be either KA or DL

XX: A number from 01 to 10

QQ: 1 or 2 alphabets from A-Z (uppercase)

YYYY: A number from 1000 to 9999

For instance, valid examples include KA01MG2323 and DL10G5454. Moreover, if the last four digits of the registration number add up to a lucky number (specifically if the digits sum up to 6), we want to return a different output.

Solution Breakdown

We'll create a Java class to implement our solution with the following steps:

Step 1: Define the Regular Expression

Firstly, we need an appropriate regular expression (regex) to validate the registration numbers correctly:

Explanation of the regex:

^: Asserts the start of the string

(KA|DL): Matches either KA or DL

(10|0[1-9]): Matches 10 or numbers 01 to 09

([A-Z]{1,2}): Matches one or two uppercase letters

([1-9][0-9]{3}): Matches numbers from 1000 to 9999

$: Asserts the end of the string

Step 2: Implement the Check Method

We need to create a static method in a class named Source that accepts a string and checks both the validity and the luckiness of the number:

Step 3: Implement the Main Method

Next, add the main method to handle user input and respond based on the output from our validation method:

Summary of the Code Logic

Accept a vehicle registration number from the user.

Validate the number against the regex.

Check the sum of the last four digits.

Return whether the number is valid, lucky, or invalid.

Conclusion

Creating a vehicle registration number validator in Java involves understanding regex and the specific rules for what constitutes a valid registration number. By following the outlined steps and utilizing the correct regular expressions, developers can efficiently validate vehicle registration numbers ensuring they meet required formatting and properties. Happy coding!
