Question

Write a loop that reads strings from standard input where the string is either "land", "air", or "water". The loop terminates when "xxxxx" (five x characters) is read in. Other strings are ignored. After the loop, your code should print out 3 lines: the first consisting of the string "land:" followed by the number of "land" strings read in, the second consisting of the string "air:" followed by the number of "air" strings read in, and the third consisting of the string "water:" followed by the number of "water" strings read in. Each of these should be printed on a separate line. mathew m

Answer 1

The loop terminates when "xxxxx" is read in. If the word is land, the string followed by "land" get outputted. The same with air, and water.

Explanation:

int land = 0;

int air = 0;

int water = 0;

String word = "";

while(!(word.equals("xxxxx"))) {

word = stdin.next();

if(word.equals("land")) {

   land++;

}else if(word.equals("air")) {

   air++;

}else if(word.equals("water")) {

   water++;

}  

}

System.out.println("land:" + land);

System.out.println("air:" + air);

System.out.println("water:" + water);
