You should use regular expression in the replaceAll() method. Something like that: String str3= str.replaceAll("[ ,.!?]", ""); Coding Cat is right.

AmmarTerRAM question asks to remove all punctuation as well . Or just don't count them.

It looks good with ceilling. Only case #1 fails. That's because of the question mark at the end (.... that?). Don't count any punctuation!

AmmarTerRAM rounding up to the nearest whole number is what ceil do . round will give you 5 instead of 6 as shown in example in the question.

Abhay Martin Taylor // Guys read the question, it says round up to the nearest whole number, that's exactly what round() do, so please tell me if there is something else I can do
