import java.util.Scanner;

public class Solution {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        String input;
        input = scan.nextLine();
        int index = input.indexOf("is");
        int count = 0;
        while (index != -1) {
            count++;
            input = input.substring(index + 1);
            index = input.indexOf("is"); 
        }
        System.out.println("No of *is* in the input is : " + count);
    }

  • How many times does the word _is_ appear in the following sentence? _This list is long._ Now how many times does your code say that it appears? – Abra May 09 '20 at 10:37
