counts how many times each word occurs
stores each word in the article in the two-dimensional array words.counts how many time each word occurs in the article
eg. a word such as 'the' presumably will occur many times in the article. store it once, but count the number of times it occurs. Print bout the stored words and their respective counts

what's the problem ? Start counting
Look, nietod's right - but here's a start
assuming you know somthing about whichever language you are programming it in (there are loads of ways to do this) -
* Open the file
* Start reading characters one by one
* Treat spaces as word separators
* Read each word into a buffer before you store it in the array
* Check if the word already exists (increment if it does ,or store it if not)
* When the file ends you have finished
(which is what AnswerTheMan said in two words - 'start counting')
I figure though, that this assignment is not aproblem solving exercise, and is
actually an exercise to teach you the language - so this is not going to be much help. Let me guess - Exams coming up, assignment due, and you've been getting red-eyes from lack of both attendance and study?
