****USING KIP IRVINE LIBRARY, "INCLUDE Irvine32.inc"****

Write an assembly language program to input a string from the user, count and display the number of times each word occur in the user input string.

For example if the user types in: "Hello there how are you, there you are Hello Hello you"

Your output should be:

Hello 3

there 2

how 1

are 2

you 3

This is the code that people keep submitting for my question but this does not compile. Can someone tell me what's wrong with this code? Or can someone post the correct answer for this assignment?
