Explanations
User input: The program prompts the user to enter text and stores it in the
text variable.
Character count: it calculates the length of the text string and displays the
character count.
Word count: it uses split to split the text into words based on spaces and
counts the number of elements in the resulting array.
Most common character: HashMap is used to store character frequencies.
The character with the highest count is identified and displayed.
Character frequency: The user enters a character, its lowercase version is
compared against each character in the lowercase text, and the frequency is
displayed.
Word frequency: The user enters a word, its lowercase version is compared
against each lowercase word in the text, and the frequency is displayed.
Unique words: Another HashMap is used to store unique words(lowercase)
and their occurrence count. The size of this map represents the number of
unique words.
