Counting words in a string is a fundamental task in data analysis.

  1. Base R: Use strsplit(), a straightforward method to split strings and count words.

  2. stringr: The str_split() function from the stringr package makes the code more readable.

  3. stringi: For powerful and efficient string manipulation, stri_split_regex() from the stringi package is your go-to.

Happy coding! 🚀

#R
