Answer 1

This is my approach.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Map.Entry;

public class FindWordCounter {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

    try {

        System.out.println("Enter the sentence: ");
        String sentence = bufferedReader.readLine();
        FindWordCounter.countWord(sentence);

    }   catch (IOException e) {

        System.out.println(e);

    }
}

public static void countWord(String sentence) {

    Map hashMap = new HashMap();
    String[] word = sentence.toLowerCase().split(" ");

    for (int i=0; i maxCount = null;

    for(Entry entry : hashMap.entrySet()) {

        if (maxCount == null || entry.getValue() > maxCount.getValue()) {
            maxCount = entry;

        }
    }

    System.out.println("The word with maximum occurence is: " + maxCount.getKey() 
                            + " and the number of occurence is: " + maxCount.getValue());
}

}
