C Program to Count Repeated Words from a String

This C Program counts the number of all repeated words in a string and displays the repeated words with it’s frequency.

Here is a source code of the C program that counts the number of all repeated words in a string display the word with it’s frequency. The C program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
