Question

[Java] How do I use the .split() method to split the every word in the sentence?

public static Word[] stringsToWords(String[] s) {
Word[] result = new Word[60];
int size = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
// Exercise #1 - split the string into words, and add each word
result[i] = new Word(s[i]);
size++;
}

Answer 1

Seems like s should be a single String, not an array, no? Either way, you'll want to do a string.split(" "). This will split string into an array of strings separated by spaces.

Answer 2

The answer to your question will depend on how your going to separate a word. (I mean how from a "_(space)", coma,period etc).

I assume you will separate a word by a space,coma,period.

I'm editing Ur code..

public static Word[] stringsToWords(String[] s) {
Word[] result = new Word[60];
int size = 0;
int wStart=0;
int wEnd=0;
int wCount=0;
char c;
for (int i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
// Exercise #1 - split the string into words, and add each word

c=s.CharAt(i);
if(c==' ' || c==',' || c=='.'){
wEnd=i;

result[wCount]=new Word();
result[wCount].setWord(s.split(wStart,wEnd)); // setWord is the method to put the word into // //Word Objet

wStart=wEnd+1;
wCount++;
continue;
}


////
size++;

}

From the above code u can get a idea of the algorithm that i have used... this code might have thousand of compile error because i typed it in Openstudy editor. :)

Hope this will help u..

You are actually bringing in an array of Strings to your function. You would need to loop on the s[] array and then run split on each of the inputs. The split function works by choosing a separator character and returning an array of strings.
So if you have a sentence:
"The quick brown fox ..."

Split would break that into :
[0] The
[1] quick
[2] brown
[3] fox
[4] ...
