Hi guys
I'm attempting to write a piece of software that analyses sentences for certain emotionally relevant words. This works fine until I attempt to analyse words I have stored for positive relevance, an action which generates an array out of bounds exception. Maybe it's just because it's late, but I cannot for the life of me see where the problem is.
I'll post the whole code below, as I would also appreciate any general coding tips you guys can provide (this is, after all, a very slap dash solution). Thanks for your time people.
public static void main(String[] args)
