Split a Sentence into Words – Java Code Example

How can we split or break down a whole sentence into words. ? Yes sometimes it required to do such split in our coding. It is very easy and this is for beginners who trying to learn java programming.

For Example, I need my Java program to split a sentence into string like below:

“This is a sample sentence.”

and turn it into a string array like:

“this”,”is”,”a”,”sample”,”sentence”

Sample Java Code

String s1="This is a sample sentence";  
String[] word=s1.split("\\s");//splits the string based on whitespace  
//using java foreach loop to print elements of string array  
for(String w:word){  
System.out.println(w); 

Result will print as as below:

This
