Find the bugs in the code provided below. Hint: there are three.

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class WordReversal 
{
    public static void main( String[] args ) 
    {
        int lastSpace = 0;
        int nextSpace = 0;
        String result = "";
        String reversedWord = "";
        String currWord = "";

        String input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter a sentence:" );
        while( nextSpace >= 0 ) 
        {
            nextSpace = input.indexOf( ' ', lastSpace );

            if( nextSpace != -1 ) 
            {
                currWord = input.substring( lastSpace, nextSpace + 1 );
            } 
            else 
            {
                currWord = input.substring( lastSpace, input.length() );
            }

            for( int j = currWord.length() - 1; j >= 0; j-- ) 
            {
                reversedWord = reversedWord + currWord.charAt( j );
            }

            result = result + reversedWord;
        }

        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, result, "Reversed Words",
