Activity 1: Searching for Multiple Occurrences in an Array

Solution

1. Create the text array.

   String[] text = {"So", "many", "books", "so", "little", "time"};

2. Create the variable that contains the word to be searched for: so

   String toSearch = "so";

3. Initialize the variable occurrence to -1.

   int occurrences = -1;

4. Create a for loop to iterate through the array to check for the occurrence.

           for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
               if (text[i].compareToIgnoreCase(toSearch) == 0) {
                   System.out.println("Found query at :" + i);
                   occurrences++;
