The answer is : 0
Remarque : This is a JavaScript language ?

Why !?

Answer 1

"Car" and "Carpet" are completely different thing.
Don't get confuse with "Java" and "Javascript".

Alpha Diallo is right.

Answer 2

This code is actually java and not javascript

Answer 3

it must be a problem related to the code playground. under certain circumstances even the Scanner class goes crazy

on a pc it returns correctly 2

Answer 4

It is a problem related to sololearn code playground: by replacing the dot by a plus "+" inside the string passed as argument to the 'split' method, that result to an error talking about regex, even if we don't use regex ^^

I highly suspect a bug in sololearn pre-parsing system that cause thoses error/unexpected results (sololearn at least parse quickly your code to determine if you need inputs when running it)

if you replace both dots by a minus "-", the expected result is correctly displayed in code playground (2)...
