Learn how to use the Total Word Counter calculator and its working principles
The calculator counts words by splitting the input text by whitespace characters. It treats each sequence of characters separated by spaces, tabs, or newlines as a potential word. Punctuation marks are generally not considered part of words, but if they appear at the beginning or end of what would be considered a word, they will be included in the count.
The calculator counts anything separated by whitespace as words. This means that multiple spaces between words, empty lines, and lines starting with spaces will affect the word count. It does not perform complex natural language processing to identify actual words versus symbols or abbreviations.
