Step 1 is to write a program that reads the file word by word and displays each word.

Get that much working and post again.

Thanks for reply..
I just need logic to count the frequency.. when repeated word comes how to find and increment?
Shoudl I search all existing words or is there other way.

Use two arrays. Store the words in one array and the counts in the other.

Read a word, search the array and if yu find it, say in element 10, then increment the count in element 10 of the other array.

Now you have your words and the counts for those words.

There are other solutions but for beginner's homework, the two array solution isn't bad. You might use one array of structs where the word and its count are members of the struct.
