# Find the Frequency of a sentence

In this [blog](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12705/myths-and-misconception-about-blog) I [am trying](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/36834/which-two-programming-languages-should-i-master-in-if-i-am-trying-to-get-into-google-or-facebook) to make a small [demo](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/157370/how-to-swap-neighbor-characters-in-string-e-g-string-demo-would-be-edom) which is [count](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/157774/selecting-count-with-distinct) the frequency of a sentence [accepted](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/80674/whatsapp-accepted-as-most-popular-app-worldwide) by [user](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13001/multi-statement-table-valued-user-defined-function-in-sql-server) using java.

                }                public static void wordFrequencyCount(String s)
{    int count=0;    String sentance[]=sortWords(s);    System.out.println("Word\t\tfrequency");    for(int i=0;i<sentance.length;)    {        count=1;        for(int index=i+1;index<sentance.length;index++)        {            if(sentance[i].compareTo(sentance[index])==0)            {
                count++;            }            else            {                break;            }        }
          System.out.println(""+sentance[i] +"\t\t"+count);
        i+=count;

    String s[]=s1.split(" ");    for( int i=0;i<s.length-1;i++)        {            for( int j=0;j<s.length-i-1;j++)            {                if(s[j].compareTo(s[j+1])>0)                {                    String g=s[j+1];                    s[j+1]=s[j];                    s[j]=g;
                }            }         }    return s;
}
}
