To write a python program for getting the word count from a text.

PC Anaconda - Python 3.7

create a file and add some content to it

open file using with keyboard/built-in function in read mode

use read() to read the contents of the file.

split the lines using split().

iterate the list and increament the count.

print the output

#program to find number of words
#developed by:s.thirisha
#register number: 22001920
fname = input('enter file name: ')
num_words = 0
with open(fname, 'r') as f:
for line in f:
words = line.split()
num_words += len(words)
print('number of words: ',num_words)

Thus the program is written to find the word count from a text.
