Assembly Program to Count Words in a String

January 18, 2020

This program will prompt the user to enter a string after getting string the program will count the number of words present in the string.

 The basic idea in the program is that the program counts the number of white spaces present in the string. So there is one limitation to the program. If there are two white spaces between two words then the program will count one extra word.
