Write a static method that takes a String and returns an integer. Return the number of characters in the passed in, String parameter.

Explanation:

The following code is written in the Java programming language. It is a function called howBig that takes in a String as a parameter and returns an int. The function grabs the string and then detects the size of the String (number of Characters it has) and then places that number into an Integer variable called wordSize. Then it returns the variable wordSize.

public static int howBig (String myWord) {

       int wordSize = myWord.length();

       return wordSize;

   }
