How do you define a "word"? How many words are in the following sentence:

"Isn't it a pity ?"

"Isn't" could be one or two. Are you going to count the question mark? Will it have to handle other languages?

Depending on why you want to do this, the closest approximation might be to simply count the spaces and add one.

i don't need it to be fool proof so the spaces plus one would be ok.

would you have the code for that pray tell?

String data = "some text";

there are four words in that sentence, its quite basic. "isn't" is one word, how could it possibly be two!? "is not" is two words. a question mark is not a word so thats a stupid question. it won't handle other languages because English is the only one that matters. Rule Brittania

Is there a command to count the amount of characters?

# 13

> Is there a command to count the amount of characters?No. But you can write one. Start by defining in your head (or on paper) what you consider to be a character.

Your definition is incomplete. Determine your expected result if the user provides the following input (for example)t:

1320402

132 0402

1 32 0401

0010 0011

0x00

0x01

0xFF

$12345

123.45

123_45

12!

4*5

a1b2 c3d4

two

twenty-seven

one hundred

-25

555-55-5555

(555) 555-1212

123456

String s = "Hello";

char word [] ;

word = s.toCharArray() // word references an array of five characters

To count the number of character in the Array : int nb = word.length
