Program 2 Unit 1

The document describes a Java program that analyzes user-inputted text by counting characters, words, and identifying the most common character. It also calculates the frequency of a specified character and word, as well as the total number of unique words. The program utilizes HashMaps for character and word frequency management.

Explanations

User input: The program prompts the user to enter text and stores it in the
text variable.

Character count: it calculates the length of the text string and displays the
character count.
Word count: it uses split to split the text into words based on spaces and
counts the number of elements in the resulting array.

Most common character: HashMap is used to store character frequencies.


The character with the highest count is identified and displayed.

Character frequency: The user enters a character, its lowercase version is


compared against each character in the lowercase text, and the frequency is
displayed.

Word frequency: The user enters a word, its lowercase version is compared
against each lowercase word in the text, and the frequency is displayed.

Unique words: Another HashMap is used to store unique words(lowercase)


and their occurrence count. The size of this map represents the number of
unique words.
