Question

I need to input a two strings, with the first one being any word and the second string being a part of the previous string and i need to output the number of times string number two occurs. So for instance:String 1 = CATSATONTHEMAT String 2 = AT. Output would be 3 because AT occurs three times in CATSATONTHEMAT. Here is my code:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

    String word8 = sc.next();
    String word9 = sc.next();
    int occurences = word8.indexOf(word9);
    System.out.println(occurences);
}

It outputs 1 when I use this code.

You could also try:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

    String word8 = sc.nextLine();
    String word9 = sc.nextLine();
    int index = word8.indexOf(word9);
    sc.close();
    int occurrences = 0;
    while (index != -1) {
        occurrences++;
        word8 = word8.substring(index + 1);
        index = word8.indexOf(word9);
    }
    System.out.println("No of " + word9 + " in the input is : " + occurrences);
}
