Given English text this code will count up the number of words used

Word Counter

Counts up the number of times each word occurs (case insensitive) in a string of English text.

Basic Usage

var wordCounter = new WordCounter();
var results = wordCounter.Count("Hello World!");

Advanced Usage

Some of the logic for the word counter is customizable through the use of input parameters to the WordCounter constructor. The available options are:

ICharacterIdentification: Specifies what characters are considered to be part of a word.

IWordCountMethod: Used to figure out how the count should be incremented when a word is encountered. There are two available options. The default option just increments the count and the second option is IsPresentWordCountMethod which will cause the count to stop at one no matter how many times a word occurs.

mergeResults: If true results from each passed in string to WordCounter.Count will be merged together rather than all added to the same dictionary. This can be handy if you want to count how many input strings use a given word at least once.
