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

PC Anaconda - Python 3.7

Open the file in read mode and handle it in test mood.

Read the text using read() function.

Split the text using space separator.We assume that words in a sentance are separted by a space character.

Split the text using space separator.We assume that words in a sentance are separted by a space character.

You can refine the count by cleaning the string prior to splitting or validating the words after splitting.

End the program.

def wordcount(filename):
    count=0
    with open("Myfile.txt","r") as f:
        for data in f:
            words=data.split()
            for word in words:
                count+=1
    print("Total number of words:",count)
filename=input("Enter Filename:")
wordcount(filename)

![](. ![](.

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