public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        // creating and initializing CharacterIterator object
        CharacterIterator word
            = new StringCharacterIterator("GeeksForGEEks");
 
        // creating and initializing BreakIterator
        BreakIterator wb
            = BreakIterator.getWordInstance();
