Question

Write a JAVA program that reads one line of input text and breaks it up into words. The (solution) words should be output one per line. A word is defined to be a sequence of letters. Any characters in the input that are not letters should be discarded.

For example, if the user inputs the line He said, "That’s not a good idea."

then the output of the program should be

 

He
said
That
is
not
a
good
idea

 

An improved version of the program would list “that’s” as a single word. An apostrophe can be considered to be part of a word if there is a letter on each side of the apostrophe. To test whether a character is a letter, you might use (ch >= ’a’ && ch <= ’z’) || (ch >= ’A’ && ch <= ’Z’). However, this only works in English and similar languages. A better choice is to call the standard function Character.isLetter(ch), which returns a boolean value of true if ch is a letter and false if it is not. This works for any Unicode character.
