Description David Simcha 2009-09-22 10:38:35 UTC 
The following line appears twice in the function:

words[wordi] = "";

Since "" is considered immutable, it can't be put in an array of char[]s.  This can be fixed by changing this line to:

words[wordi] = null;

Null is equivalent, for all practical purposes, to "", but is automatically coerced to the right type.
