Hello! I'm suppose to code a word counter for my Java class.
The user is suppose to keep entering a sentence until they type "xxx" then at the end, it'd count how many words entered.
It's only counting the "xxx" for me, so at the end, it says I only entered 1 word. Can I get some pointers on how to fix this?
Here's my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class WordCounter
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
String speech;
do
{
System.out.println("Enter your speech: ");
speech = keyboard.nextLine();
}while(!"xxx".equals(speech));
int counter=0;
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(speech);
while(st.hasMoreTokens())
{
System.out.println(st.nextToken());
counter++;
}
System.out.println("\nThere are " + counter + " words in the speech.");
}
}Thanks!
