Goal
Count how many times each word appears using Map<String, int>.
Step 1 - Input text and split words
void main() {
String text = 'dart is fun and dart is fast';
List<String> words = text.split(' ');
print(words);
}Step 2 - Count frequencies
Map<String, int> countWords(List<String> words) {
Map<String, int> result = {};
for (final word in words) {
result[word] = (result[word] ?? 0) + 1;
}
return result;
}Step 3 - Print results
void printCounts(Map<String, int> counts) {
counts.forEach((word, count) {
print('$word -> $count');
});
}Step 4 - (Optional) basic cleanup
- Convert text to lowercase before split.
- Remove commas/periods if needed for cleaner counting.
Practice tasks
- Try with a longer paragraph.
- Find the most frequent word.
- Ignore common words like
the,is(optional).
