java string split

Question

What should I do if I want to split the characters of any string considering gaps and no gaps?

For example, if I have the string My Names James I want each character individually like this: M y n a m e s etc.

Answer 1

You mean this?

   String sentence = "Hello World";
   String[] words = sentence.split(" ");

Also if you would like to get the chars of the string you could do this:

char[] characters = sentence.toCharArray();

Now you just need a loop to iterate the characters and do whatever you want with them.

Here a link to the java API documentation there you can find information about the String class.
