That his is the same definition that the means that some words include punctuation, as in "be,". (T Scanner uses for tokens.)

Explanation / Answer

import java.util.Scanner;

class Main {

public static void wordStats(String text)

{

int words = 1;

int letters = 0;

// looping through each character in the given string

for(int i = 0; i<text.length(); i++)

{

// if it is a space, counting words

if(text.charAt(i) == ' ')

words++;

// otherwise counting letters

else

{

letters++;

}

}

// printing output

System.out.printf("Total words = %d ",words);

System.out.println("Average length = "+ letters/(words*1.0));

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

// taking user input and calling function

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Enter text ");

String>

wordStats(one);

}

}

/*

Enter text

To be or not to be, that is the question.
