Aim:

To Write a Java program that displays the number of characters, lines and words in a text.

Source Code:

import java.io.*;
class FILECH
{
           static int lines=0,words=0,chars=0;
           public static void wordCount(InputStreamReader isr)throws IOException
           {
                  int c=0;
                  while((c=isr.read())!=-1)
                  {
                  chars++;
                  if(c==’n’)                                                                                                         
                  lines++;
                  if((c==’n’)||(c==’ ‘)||(c==’t’))
                  ++words;
                  }
           }     
           public static void main(String rr[])throws IOException
           {
                  if(rr.length==0)
                  {
                                                                                                                                               System.out.println(“Enter the Text:”);
                  wordCount(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
                  }
                  else
                  {
                  FileReader fr=new FileReader(rr[0]);
                  wordCount(fr);
                  }
                  System.out.println(“Number of Words:”+words);
                  System.out.println(“Number of charecters:”+chars);                                              
                  System.out.println(“Number of lines: “+lines);
           }
}
 

Expected Output:
