Java : Counting frequency of word in a string using Map

Use a Map to map Map<String,Integer> the words with frequency.

String SPACE =" ";
String [] words = input.split(SPACE);
Map<String,Integer> frequency = new HashMap<String,Integer>();
for (String word:words){
    Integer f = frequency.get(word);
    frequency.put(word,f+1);
}

Then you can find out for a particular word with:

frequency.get(word);

Java: ping an URL from java application - code example

The code to ping a URL from java application is as follows :

public static void pingUrl(final String address) {
try {
final URL url = new URL("http://" + address);

urlConn.setConnectTimeout(1000 * 10); // mTimeout is in seconds
urlConn.connect();
if (urlConn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
System.out.println("Ping to "+address +" was success");

public static void pingUrlWithResponseTime(final String address) {
try {
final URL url = new URL("http://" + address);
final HttpURLConnection urlConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
urlConn.setConnectTimeout(1000 * 10); // mTimeout is in seconds
final long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
urlConn.connect();
final long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
if (urlConn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
System.out.println("Time (ms) : " + (endTime - startTime));
System.out.println("Ping to "+address +" was success");
}
} catch (final IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
