Search a Word

Algorithm

  1.   Start
  2. sent=null
  3. word=null
  4. search=null
  5. k:=0
  6. Print "Enter a sentence"
  7. Read sent
  8. Print "Enter a word to be searched"
  9. Read search
  10. search.trim()
  11. sent.trim()
  12. sent=sent+" "
  13. k=0
  14. If sent.compareTo(" ")!=-1, go to step 15 or else go to step 20
  15. word=sent.substring(0, sent.indexOf(' '))
  16. sent=sent.substring(sent.indexOf(' ')+1, sent.length())
  17. If word.equalsIgnoreCase(search)==true, go to step 18 or else go to step 19
  18. k++
  19. Go to step 14
  20. If (k!=0), go to step 21 or else go to step 22
  21. Print "The word is present in the given sentence". Go to step 23
  22. Print "The word is not present in the given sentence"
  23. Stop
