Count Words

A text file contains words separated by any mix of spaces and newlines, possibly with extra blank space, for example:

the quick brown fox jumps

Write a function int countWords(const string& filename) that returns how many words the file contains; a word is any run of non-whitespace characters. The starter opens the file and declares string word and int count; write the loop.

The test prints the returned count on its own line, for example (see Expected Output).

Do NOT write a main function.

Expected Output:

5↵
3↵

= newline. The output ends with a newline — print one after the last line.
