A friend needs help writing a C program which has to read a text file, and count the number of occurences of each word in the file. I know this can be done using Linked-Lists, but his version needs to use arrays. The input file has the following: TO BE OR NOT TO BE and the output should be somthing like: Word Occurences ------------------ TO 2 BE 2 OR 1 NOT 1 Can anyone help, or know of anyone that can help?
