Interface

#include <codecogs/strings/word_count.h>

using namespace Strings;

int word_count(char* text)

The assumptions involved are:

The string is null terminated
The words separation char is only a space and nothing else.

Example 1

#include <cstdio>
#include<codecogs/strings/word_count.h>
int main () {
   char * sz = "The quick     brown fox jumps over the lazy           dog.";
   int nWordCount = Strings::word_count (sz);
   printf ("The word count is %d", nWordCount);
   return 0;
}
