This example explains you that how you can count the occurrences of each word in a file. In this example we will use the HashMap for putting and getting the values. This program takes the file name from command line which returns the number of occurrences of each word separated by a single white space. In this example I have used the java.io and java.util packages.
Java Word Occurrence Example
In this example we will discuss about the how many times words are repeated in a file.

Example
Here I am giving a simple example which will demonstrate you about how to count occurrences of each word in a file. In this example we will read the file name through the command line for this I have used the java.util.Scanner class then I have created object of HashMap into which we will put the elements after reading from file and then we will get these elements using java.util.Iterator.
