java判断是否存在某个单词,如何使用Java检查句子中是否存在单词？

I am new to programming and working on a function to return true if a word is present in a sentence. I tried the indexOf() method, but then I also came across a certain issue with this approach:

Suppose my sentence is I am a, Java Programmer.

If we look for the word ram with the indexOf() method then it will return true because ram is present in Programmer while the correct output should be false as ram is not present as a word but as a pattern.

How can I work around this problem? The code that I am using as of now is:

boolean isPresent(String word, String sentence)

{

if(sentence.indexOf(word) >= 0)

return true;

else

return false;

}

NOTE: The word ram is just an example to show one of the issue with my current approach.It's not that I have to work with ram only all the time.The word can be any like say a which is followed by a comma in above sentence.

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for providing their comments and solutions. I have selected one as an accepted answer(would have selected more if permitted :-)), but a lot were helpful.

try regex

boolean contains = s.matches(".*\\bram\\b.*");

\b means word boundary
