You will have to decide for yourself what is meant by a word. The
simplest approach is to define a word to be any continuous sequence of
upper or lower case letters. Thus 'tis is counted as a
3-letter word, with the apostrophe being skipped over along with
spaces, punctuation, digits etc. For this purpose you may find it
helpful to use the
isLetter
method from the
Character
class.
You will need to use an array with elements corresponding to various possible word lengths. When you print out the results, you should only print occurrences up to the maximum length of word that was actually encountered in the file, so the last one printed is always greater than zero. Simple examples of keyboard and file input can be found in the files CharCount.java and EchoLine.java.
Write a program that exercises the method you have written. Apply it
to the test file
konig.txt.
Show the output as part of your submission.
