In this method The wordPair method The two parameters represent two case-sensitive
words that might have been found in a document. The method must return
true if the first parameter has occurred at least once in the document and was
immediately followed at least once by the second word. Otherwise it must
return false.
In other words, the method must return true if at some point, a call was made
to addWord with the first parameter, and the next call to addWord was made
with the second parameter. Otherwise it must return false. See below for an
example.


What I have tried:

This is my code with the attempt i have made but it is not working, i dont think i should have split up strings.

What does "not working" mean? As far as I can see the wordPair method will return true if it finds the first word, whether it finds the second or not. Your boolean flag should only be set to true if both words are found together.

... and it'll struggle to find anything in the empty document it created...

... I deliberately left that as an exercise for the OP.
