The GNU/Linux operating system comes with many built-in utilities for getting real work done. For example, imagine you had to an
alyze thousands of files as part of a digital forensics investigation. One utility you might use is the wc command, which prints the newline, word, and byte counts for a given file. For example, if a file contained the text "This is the first line.\nThis is the second.", the wc command would print 1 9 43 (i.e., 1 newline character, 9 words, 43 total characters). For this exercise, you will implement a similar utility. Create a new class named WordCount that has a single method named analyze that takes a string parameter named text and returns an array of three integers. This method should count the number of newlines, words, and characters in the given string. (The return value is an array of these three counts.) Note that a "word" is any sequence of characters separated by whitespace. Hint: You can use a Scanner to count the number of words in a string. The Scanner.next() method returns the next word, ignoring whitespace.
