a java program where im supposed to print the number of lines the number of words and the longest line in a text file!
i just need help printing the longest line of my text...
and with the number of lines.. my keep printin 1 in each line :
insted of 1, 2, 3, 4 the number of words and the number of letter in the longest word are ok !
Beware the Jabberwock, my son,
the jaws that bite, the claws that catch,
Beware the JubJub bird and shun
the frumious bandersnatch.
my output should be
Line 1 has 5 tokens (longest = 11)
Line 2 has 8 tokens (longest = 6)
Line 3 has 6 tokens (longest = 6)
Line 4 has 3 tokens (longest = 13)
Longest line : the jaws that bite, the claws that catch,
im getting :
Line 1 has 5 tokens (longest = 11)
Line 1 has 8 tokens (longest = 6)
Line 1 has 6 tokens (longest = 6)
Line 1 has 3 tokens (longest = 13)
This is my cod e

inputStats(new Scanner(line));
}
}//end of amin
