Method Details

convertToValidEmail

public static String convertToValidEmail(String email)

Converts an email address to a valid canonical form.

Some universities may have email systems where there are multiple valid representations of the same email address.

This method ensures that the email is in a consistent canonical form. This is the place to isolate these conversions, so that if the rules change, we only have to change them in one place.

Parameters:

email -

Returns:

email in canonical form

areEquivalentEmails

public static boolean areEquivalentEmails(String email1,
 String email2)

Check whether two emails are equivalent in their canonical form

Parameters:

email1 -

email2 -

Returns:

true if the canonical forms of the two emails are equal, false otherwise
