I'm trying to build an app that counts the number of words in a sentence or paragraph but i cant figure it out. for example: “For a for loop count a count”, the output would is to be displayed as “for: 2, a: 2, loop: 1, count: 2”.
That's a nice task for a homework. . So what have you tried?
Pkease do not expect to get the solution directly in blocks... this would not be fair...
A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.
There is a free programming course here Course In A Box and the aia files for the projects in the book are here: App Inventor 2 Book: Create Your Own Android Apps
How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here: How do you...? .
Also do the tutorials Our Tutorials! to learn the basics of App Inventor, then try something and follow the Top 5 Tips: How to learn App Inventor
