How to count letter of each word
17,324
Solution 1
Step 1 - Find the number of words in the sentence using the space separator.
String CurrentString = "How Are You";
String[] separated = CurrentString.split(" ");
String sResultString="";
int iWordCount = separated.length;
sResultString = iWordCount +" words";
Step 2 - Find letter count in each word.
for(int i=0;i<separated.length;i++)
{
String s = separated[i];
sResultString = sResultString + s.length + " letters ";
}
// Print sResultString
Solution 2
Take a look at http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_string_split.htm. You should be able to use the Java String.split() function to break up the string by spaces " ". That should give you an array that contains each word. Then it is simply finding the length of each word.

I was wondering how I would write a method to count the number of words and number of each word letters for example if input is "The Blue Sky" in return i take something that show me there was 3 words 3 letter 4 letter 3 letter
i'v found this code already
public static int countWords(String s){ int wordCount = 0; boolean word = false; int endOfLine = s.length() - 1; for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) { // if the char is a letter, word = true. if (Character.isLetter(s.charAt(i)) && i != endOfLine) { word = true; // if char isn't a letter and there have been letters before, // counter goes up. } else if (!Character.isLetter(s.charAt(i)) && word) { wordCount++; word = false; // last word of String; if it doesn't end with a non letter, it // wouldn't count without this. } else if (Character.isLetter(s.charAt(i)) && i == endOfLine) { wordCount++; } } return wordCount; }
I really appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!
