Answer 1

This is how i have done it :

It works fine too

    import java.util.Scanner;


    public class countwords {

        public static void main(String args[]){
            Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.println("Enter your sentence:[Try to ignore space at end]");
            String s=in.nextLine();
            System.out.println("Size of the string is "+s.length());
            int res=count(s);
            System.out.println("No of words in the given String --->>"+"  "+s+" "+"is"+" :"+res);
        }


        private static int count(String s) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            int count=0;
            if(s.charAt(0)!=' '){
                count++;
            }
            for(int i=0;i

OUTPUT: this is my world bonaza

Size of the string is 23

No of words in the given String --->> this is my world bonazais :5

There are some bugs try to correct them and repost

A more simple way that i found was :

Just use this :

    // Read a string
String st=s.nextLine();

// Split string with space
String words[]=st.trim().split(" ");
