A word count problem is one of the basic program that we come across in python.Being a programmer , we should be able to understand such kind of program and able to execute it.

Step 1 : Create the dataset , here it is done using the list.

Step 2: Create an empty dictionary

wordcount = {}

Step 3: Traverse the loop and check for the word in list whether it is available in wordcount dictionary

for word in words:

if word not in wordcount:

wordcount[word] =1

else:

wordcount[word] +=1

Step 4 : Print the value using key,value pair

for k,v in wordcount.items():

print(k,v)

Complete code snippet
