Help With Java Program Please!

Question

Greetings,
I am trying to figure out to write a Java program that will read n lines of text from the keyboard until a blank line is read. And as it read each line, It's suppose to keep track of
The longest string so far
The Longest word seen so far
The line that contains the most words
The total number of words seen in all lines
I don't know where to begin. Help me please! Thank you very much.

Man I have to say that this smells like home work.
Since you have not asked for a cut paste code I tell you what to do
1. Write a function which take single string as a parameter and break it down to words and return words as a array or string
(You can use this)
you will need several variables to keep track of
The longest string so far
The Longest word seen so far
The line that contains the most words and number of words in that line
The total number of words seen in all lines
now read lines in a loop if the length is 0 exit (that is your exis condition right)
otherwise check the length of input string and update "The longest string so far"
then break down the words and update "The Longest word seen so far", "The line that contains the most words and number of words in that line" and "The total number of words seen in all lines"
and when you are exiting display the above values
