THIS IS IN JAVA

Question:

Given a line of text as input, output the number of characters excluding spaces, periods, exclamation points, or commas.

Ex: If the input is:

Listen, Mr. Jones, calm down.

the output is:

21

Note: Account for all characters that aren't spaces, periods, exclamation points, or commas (Ex: "r", "2", "?").

 

My incorrect code:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class LabProgram {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);
        String userText;
        int count = 0;
        userText = scnr.nextLine(); 
        for (int i = 0; i < userText.length(); i++)
        {
            if (userText.charAt(i) != ' ' && userText.charAt(i) != '.' && userText.charAt(i) != ',')
                count++;
        }
        System.out.println(count);    

    }
}

 

An example/hint i'm given to compare to my code as to why i'm getting it wrong:
