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

PC Anaconda - Python 3.7

Get the file name as input from the user.

Open the file in read mode.

Use for loop to split the lines.

Store the split lines in a variable.

Add the number of lines and store it in a variable.

Print the stored variable.

fname = input('Enter file name : ')
num_words = 0
with open(fname,'r') as f1:
    for line in f1:
        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.
