3. The executable will be located at build/sscript

Usage

Run from terminal sscript <file_path>

Example

count_words_in_file <- function(file_path) {
    file_text <- read(file_path)
    current_word <- ""
    word_count <- 0
    for ch in file_text {
        if ch = " " {
            if len(current_word) > 0 {
                word_count <- word_count + 1
                current_word <- ""
            }
        } else {
            current_word <- current_word + ch
        }
    }
    if len(current_word) > 0 {
        word_count <- word_count + 1
    }

    return word_count
}

output(count_words_in_file("example_file.txt"))
