Answer 1

You could simplify the code significantly by removing all the spaces and punctuation before you start. Look at String.replaceAll(regex,replacement). You would write a regular expression to match blanks and punctuation, and provide an empty string ("") as the replacement. This will return a new string containing the original minus the characters you want to ignore.
