I see you failed to test this code, because it doesn't get anywhere near the stated functionality.
If you don't understand why try these test strings:
"This data has one sentence starting with a CAPITAL letter."
"this has none, says James."
"An ellipsis looks like this: ... .
"É is a latin capital letter E acute, Unicode: U+00C9, UTF-8: C3 89."
"What about this one? It has zero periods!"
.., ad that's without getting into what happens if any of the interesting characters are inside a quotation.
Listen: It's good that you are posting and contributing here, but for your own reputation you should be more careful about the quality of what you post.
_Anu_6,
Have you made any progress on testing your sentencesChecker(String essay) {.....} function as suggested by JamesCherrill?
Do you know how to test the your code?
Anu_6 ,
To find a sentences start with a capital letter read a first word of the sentence and check is start with upper case.
Character.isUpperCase(word.charAt(0))
