System.out.println("Enter a phrase with 3 words in it repeated: ");
phrase=in.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter the word that is repeated: ");
wordRepeated=in.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter the replacement for the first occurrence: ");
a=in.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter the replacement for the second occurrence: ");
b=in.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter the replacement for the third occurrence: ");
c=in.nextLine();
phrase=phrase.replaceFirst(wordRepeated, a)




      .replaceFirst(wordRepeated, b)
      .replaceFirst(wordRepeated, c);
System.out.println(phrase);
}
}
