Count Number of Words in a String
You can easily count the number of words in a string with the following example:
Example
String words = "One Two Three Four";
int countWords = words.split("\\s").length;
System.out.println(countWords);Explanation: The method split("\\s") breaks the string into an array wherever it finds a space. In the example, the string "One Two Three Four" is split into 4 words. The length of that array tells us the total number of words.
