Thread: max length of an array?

I have a program that ready a file, and displays the fewuency of a length of a word, however, do to this i have used an array which specifies the max length as seen here:

int frequency [] = new int[12];

this makes it so that the max word possibly read is 12....

however i need this to be whatever the maximum length of a word is?
i have the following code, this kind of works, as in it displays the lengths without me telling it hte number, however it goes all the way to 115 (with length as 0 since there are no wordsth is long.

int t = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
int frequency [] = new int['t'];

How can i fix this so that it is the max length is determind?
my idea is that i might need a for loop?

sorry, im new to Java there possibly a simple answer

Not sure if i need to, but here is all my code so far

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
 
class analyze1_2
{
	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
	{
		FileReader file = new FileReader("body.txt");
		BufferedReader MyFile = new BufferedReader(file);
 
		StringTokenizer TokenizeMe= new StringTokenizer("");
		int NumberOfTokens = 0;
		int NumberOfWords = 0;
		int i;
		int t = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
		int frequency [] = new int[t];
		String line="";
 
		while((line=MyFile.readLine())!=null)
		{
		TokenizeMe = new StringTokenizer(line);
		NumberOfTokens = TokenizeMe.countTokens();
 
			for (int WordsInLine=1; WordsInLine<=NumberOfTokens; WordsInLine++)
			{
			    String word=TokenizeMe.nextToken();
			    int l=word.length();
			    frequency[l]++;
			}
 
			NumberOfWords += NumberOfTokens;			
		}
		MyFile.close();
 
			for (i=1; i<frequency.length; i++)
			{
			    System.out.println("Length: "+i+ ", "+ "frequency: " +frequency[i]);
			}
	}
}

sorry, does

ArrayList<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<Integer>();

replace

int frequency [] = new int[12];

?
