     countTokens() method returns the number of tokens remaining from the current

     delimiter set.

     It calculates the number of times StringTokenizer's nextToken() method

     can be called before it generates an exception.

     Please note that invoking countTokens() method does not advance the

     current position.

    //iterate through tokens

    while(st.hasMoreTokens()){

      System.out.println("Remaining Tokens : " + st.countTokens());

      System.out.println(st.nextToken());

    }

   

  }

}

/*

Output Would be

Remaining Tokens : 5

Java

Remaining Tokens : 4

StringTokenizer

Remaining Tokens : 3

count

Remaining Tokens : 2

Tokens

Remaining Tokens : 1
