Look at the substring method in java. That is what you need. The basic idea is to check for every word and in order to see that, grad each word from the sentence, you would use the substring method and then from there you can start comparing the word against which you are looking for.

  • Use a loop to go through every single character.
  • Check for the next empty character
  • Form a word from where the previous non-empty character was till the empty character
  • Check to see if the word matches what you are looking for. If it does then increment your match counter.
  • You must also make sure you exit the loop once you hit the last character.

Hope this helps
