Need alot of help with programming asentence abbreviation algorithm :(

[Gmoon_90]

Hello , ive been asked to write a java program that does the following :-

1- ask the user to input a sentence (heir entry may contain spaces, digits, and/or punctuation characters) which is probably the only thing i know how to do sadly ..

2- all single character words remain in the output String.

3- remove all vowels that are not single word characters from the output sentence.

4-all double characters will be single char even if there is spaces between words

5- numbers and spaces including punctuation remains in the output string

... the problem is that im a beginner at using JCreator .. actually at java itself so this program was really hard to me to try to write i know i have to use loop but cant implement it right pretty frustrating so any tips would be really helpful

Start simply and add to it.
First get the sentence from the user. See the Scanner class for console line input

Look at the String class for methods to use with the String which is what you'll read with the Scanner class.

so far ive got to scanning the answer and saving it in StrIn which is my string input ive read some threads and searched about removing the vowels tho i still dont know how to leave it if it single char

i still dont know how to leave it if it single char

What defines a single character?
What separates characters? Spaces, commas, semicolons
