Sentence count

Posted 31 March 2009 - 10:31 PM

Hi everyone-my first question on dreamincode

i had to create a program that asks user to input sentences and then displays the
number of sentences.

Example: user input: i like clouds. i hate rocks.

output: the no. of sentences are 2

so i worked on the program and this is what the main part of my code looks like:
{
c = new Console ();

c.println ("Please enter the sentences");

String userInput;
userInput=c.readLine ();

String word;
int punctuation=userInput.length;

for (int counter=0; counter<=1; counter++)

{

if(userInput.equals ("?") && userInput.equals ("!") && userInput.equals ("."))

{
c.println ("the number of sentences are");
c.println ((counter+userInput.length ()));

the problem: after running it and entering a sentence the code stops.
i need help with correcting the part in my for loop.
i will appreciate any help
Thanks alot!
