Sorry, it seems like I was not clear enough in that statement. I should have written something like "counting how many times each word occured" insted of "counting words".<div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div><br></div><div><ul><li>This code doesn't print for the items that occur more than one time. Why?</li><li>And actually as I was writing, I realized that "if b[c+1]" may return an error if the last item on the list occured more than one, however, it didn't even if a manually made the last item occur two times. Was my initial expectation a false one? If not, how could I turn it into a b[c-1] so that it will not fail in first item?</li>
