Word Counter in Ruby

In this article I would like to share with you a sample program that will ask the user to give a string or sentence and then our program will count the number of words in the given string or sentence using Ruby as our programming language. The  code is very short and easy to understand.

I am currently accepting programming and web development work kindly contact me in the following email address for further details. Thank you.

My email address are the following jakerpomperada@gmail.com and jakerpomperada@yahoo.com.

My mobile number here in the Philippines is 09173084360.

My telephone number at home here in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental is (034) 4335675.
