Count uppercase letters program

The problem

Write a program that prompts the user to enter a string and displays the number of the uppercase letters in the string.

Breaking it down

First calling the string.chars() which will return a IntStream. Using java 8 we can capture the number of upper case letters by using a predicate Character::isUpperCase and passing it to the filter method. Finally we will use the stream terminal operation count to find the total number of instances.

public static void main(String[] args) {

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Enter a string: ");
    String inputString = input.nextLine();
    input.close();

    long count = inputString.chars().filter(Character::isUpperCase).count();

    System.out.println("The number of uppercase letters is " + count);
}

Output

Enter a string:
A is Coming Down the road
The number of uppercase letters is 3
