Problem

I want to extract any words immediately after the `#` character in a `String`, and store them in a `String[]` array. For example, if this is my `String`... ``` "Array is the most #important thing in any programming #language" ``` Then I want to extract the following words into a `String[]` array... ``` "important" "language" ``` Could someone please offer suggestions for achieving this.
