import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;

public class htmlencodes {

 private static final char c[] = { '<', '>', '&', '\"'};
 private static final String expansion[] = {"&lt;", "&gt;", "&amp;",
                                     "&quot;"};
 public static String HTMLEncode(String s) {
      StringBuffer st = new StringBuffer();
      for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
          boolean copy = true;
          char ch = s.charAt(i);
          for (int j = 0; j < c.length ; j++) {
            if (c[j]==ch) {
                st.append(expansion[j]);
                copy = false;
                break;
