📝 Word Count Tool

A lightweight Java Swing desktop application that counts the number of words, characters in a given text input.

🔧 Features

• Real-time word, character, and space counting
• Counts all words including duplicates, based on space-separated tokens
• Simple and clean user interface built with Java Swing
• Clear button to reset input and output fields
• Exit button to close the application

🧠 How It Works

• Words are detected by splitting the input text using spaces.
• Every word is counted — even if it appears multiple times.
• Characters are also calculated, which includes special characters as well(eg: " ! ?).

Example: "hello world hello" counts as 3 words, including the duplicate "hello".

🧪 01 : Sample Input / Output

Input Text:
The only way to do great work is tolove what you do

Explanation:

• The tool splits the input based on spaces.
• "tolove" is counted as one word (no space between "to" and "love").
• "do" appears twice and is counted both times.

🔢 Output:

• Words: 12

🧪 02 : Sample Input / Output

Input Text:
" The only way to do great work is tolove what you do !! "

Explanation:

• The tool splits the input strictly based on spaces.
• Words like ", is, tolove, do, and !! are treated as individual words.
• "do" and " appears twice and is counted twice.
• Punctuation is not removed or filtered—it's included as part of the word if not space-separated.

🔢 Output:

• Words: 15
