Questions and Answers
Explain what the given code segment does.
The code segment counts the number of non-letter characters in the given text by using a Scanner object to read the text, setting the delimiter to space, and then iterating through each word to count the non-letter characters.
What is the value of 'count' after the code segment is executed?
The value of 'count' would be 7, as there are 7 non-letter characters (including spaces and period) in the given text.
How does the 'source.useDelimiter(" ")' affect the behavior of the Scanner object?
The 'source.useDelimiter(" ")' sets the delimiter of the Scanner object to space, which means the Scanner will tokenize the input based on spaces. This causes the Scanner to read the text word by word.
