Here s a different way of looking at it  and it s a simple one-liner  int spaces   s replaceAll  quot      quot    quot  quot   length     This works by effectively removing all non-spaces then taking the length of what   s left  the spaces   You might want to add a null check  int spaces   s    null   0   s replaceAll  quot      quot    quot  quot   length      Java 8 update You can use a stream too  int spaces   s chars   filter c - gt  c     int      count

Your code will count the number of tabs and not the number of spaces  Also  the number of tabs will be one less than arr length

The most precise and exact plus fastest way to that is    String Name  Infinity War is a good movie        int count  0       for int i 0 i lt Name length   i         if Character isWhitespace Name charAt i         count  1                       System out println count

If you use Java 8  the following should work   long count    0 1 2 3 4   chars   filter Character  isWhitespace  count      This will also work in Java 8 using Eclipse Collections   int count   Strings asChars  0 1 2 3 4    count Character  isWhitespace     Note  I am a committer for Eclipse Collections

Another way using regular expressions  int length   text replaceAll             length

The code you provided would print the number of tabs  not the number of spaces  The below function should count the number of whitespace characters in a given string   int countSpaces String string        int spaces   0      for int i   0  i  lt  string length    i              spaces     Character isWhitespace string charAt i      1   0            return spaces

This program will definitely help you   class SpaceCount        public static int spaceCount String s        int a 0          char ch    new char s length             for int i   0  i  lt  s length    i                 ch i   s charAt i               if  ch i                     a                                 return a              public static void main String    s                int m   spaceCount  Hello I am a Java Developer            System out println  The number of words in the String are      m

s length   - s replaceAll          length   returns you number of spaces   There are more ways  For example   int spaceCount   0  for  char c   str toCharArray          if  c                    spaceCount              etc   etc   In your case you tried to split string using  t - TAB  You will get right result if you use     instead  Using  s may be confusing since it matches all whitepsaces - regular spaces and TABs

Fastest way to do this would be   int count   0  for int i   0  i  lt  str length    i           if Character isWhitespace str charAt i    count        This would catch all characters that are considered whitespace    Regex solutions require  compiling regex and excecuting it - with a lot of overhead   Getting character array requires allocation   Iterating over byte array would be faster  but only if you are sure that your characters are ASCII

t will match tabs  rather than spaces and should also be referred to with a double slash    t  You could call s split        but that wouldn t count consecutive spaces  By that I mean     String bar     ba jfjf jjj j      String   split   bar split         System out println  split length       Returns 5   So  despite the fact there are seven space characters  there are only five blocks of space  It depends which you re trying to count  I guess   Commons Lang is your friend for this one   int count   StringUtils countMatches  inputString
