Words in a Sentence

// count and display the words in a sentence
// optionally store the words in a vector

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>  // for the vector option

using namespace std;

int main()

  string sentence, word;
  // create a string vector to hold the words
  vector<string> sV;

  cout << "Enter a sentence: ";
  getline(cin, sentence);

  // put the sentence into a stream

  // the >> operator separates the stream at a whitespace
  while (instr >> word)

    cout << word << endl;
    // optionally store each word in a string vector
    // could use an array, but a vector is easier
    sV.push_back(word);

  // now let's look at the vector
  cout << "You typed " << sV.size() << " words:\n";
