Question

Write a Java program that reads in a paragraph of text from a file and prompts the user to enter a word to search for. The program should then output the number of times the word appears in the paragraph.

Here are the basic steps to implement this program:

  1. Prompt the user to enter the name of the input file.

  2. Read in the paragraph of text from the input file.

  3. Prompt the user to enter a word to search for.

  4. Search the paragraph for the word and count the number of times it appears.

  5. Output the number of times the word appears in the paragraph.

To implement step 4, you can use a similar approach to the example I provided in class:

  1. Split the paragraph into an array of words using the split() method.

  2. Iterate through each word in the array and compare it to the search word (ignoring case).

  3. If the word matches the search word, increment a counter variable.
