3	boolean hasMoreTokens() This method tests if there are more tokens available from this tokenizer's string.
4	Object nextElement() This method returns the same value as the nextToken method, except that its declared return value is Object rather than String.
5	String nextToken() This method returns the next token from this string tokenizer.
