This isn't really something you need to "remember" how to do. You could 
figure it out. Which part of the task are you having trouble with?

Keep some kind of data structure that maps strings to integers. Each 
time you encounter a word, find it in that data structure and increment 
the associated integer, or add a new item to the data structure if you 
don't find that word.
