1. The user is asked to enter a string and stored in the array ‘str’. A variable ‘count’ is initialized as 0.
2. Using for loop, for every space(‘ ‘) in the string, count is incremented.
3. The loop continues till the end of the string.
4. Increment the value of count by 1 and then the result is printed, which is the total number of words.
