Word Counter - Algorithm

Here's your approach for counting words in a file:

$1.$ Create an ifstream object with the filename.

$2.$ Check if the file opened successfully; if not, print an error and exit.

$3.$ Initialize a word counter to zero and a string variable to hold each word.

$4.$ Use a while loop: while (infile >> word) { count++; }.

$5.$ After the loop, close the file with infile.close().

$6.$ Output the final count. The stream handles whitespace splitting and end-of-file detection automatically.
