Flesch Readability Score is a measure of text readabilty
Formula: 206.835 - 1.015 * (# words / # sentences) - 84.6 * (# syllables / # words)
Interned strings allow Java to treat 2 duplicate strings as the same object in memory.

String text = new String("Text shiz"); # New object String text2 = "Hello world!"; # Refers to the same "interned" object. String text3 = "Hello world"; # Refers to the same "interned" object.
Only use == to check equality of objects. Use str1.equals(str2) to compare values (eg in strings).
String methods in Java:
length
toCharArray
charAt - return character at string position
split
indexOf

For each loop in Java:

  for (char c : word.toCharArray())
  {
      if (c == letter)
      {
          return true;
      }
  }
