hi everyone,,,,i am doing a program to calculate number of words in a string "welcome to java". can anybody give me the solution,,,,,i am unable to find output, my code is as follows,,

class words
{
public static void main (String args[])
{
String name="welcome to java";
t=name.split(' ');
int l=0;
for(int i=0;i<name.length();i++)
{
l++;

}

System.out.println(+l);
}
}

Ok, a few questions. you've got t=name.split. What exactly is t? You're assigning a value to something that doesn't exist yet. Then you don't even try to use t so what's the point in it. And what are you trying to print out in your System.out?

class words
{
  public static void main (String args[])
  {
    String name="welcome to java";
    t=name.split(' ');
    int l=0;
    for(int i=0;i<name.length();i++)
    {
      l++;
    }

    System.out.println(+l);
  }
}

Nakor was right. String.split(regex) returns an array of Strings that have been split at whatever is specified between the parentheses. Then just get the length of that String. Problem Solved.

String str = "Welcome to Java";
String[] words = str.split(" ")
int numOfWords = words.length;

Also, "java" is a terrible name for a topic in the Java help forum. Try to give your post a meaningful name.
