Here we are going to write a program count the number of words in a string using Java.

Count the Number of words in a String :

[java]

import java.util.Scanner;

public class StringWordsCountExample {

    public static void main(String a[]) {

        int count = 0;
        Scanner s1 = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Enter a String : ");
        String inputValue = s1.nextLine();

        if (inputValue != null && !inputValue.equals("")) {

            int length = inputValue.length();

            char[] findCharctersArray = new char[length];

            for (int k = 0; k < length; k++) {
                findCharctersArray[k] = inputValue.charAt(k);
                if (((k > 0) && (findCharctersArray[k] != ‘ ‘) && (findCharctersArray[k – 1] == ‘ ‘))
                        || ((findCharctersArray[0] != ‘ ‘) && (k == 0)))
                    count++;
            }
            System.out.println("The number of words in input String : " + count);
        }

    }
}
[/java]

Output :

Enter a String : online tutorials point
The number of words in input String : 3
