Line 10- remove () because it is only used to get string length but you are getting the length of an array so it should be- int e=d.length;

Harithra Shanmugam Change split("\\s+") to split(" ") Change d.length() to d.length Change replaceAll(" ", "") to replaceAll("\\s", ""); Change System.out.println(f) to System.out.println(Math.round(Math.ceil(f))) and also you should count only alphabets (a.length() will count all the character)

Convert the input into a char array and inspect for letters (shown in posted code. Note: The Math. ceil func and int conversion were for a specific need), or use regex to yank out invalid chars. https://code.sololearn.com/cRE8rRS8Huue/?ref=app
