Difficult C Question

[junezy4]

I need the coding for the following question in C:
Read from a file (.txt file) and count the number of times the word "a", "is", "the", "and", "that", and "this" occurs.

One way to do that is to create a structure that contains the strings and an integer

struct words
{
    char* word;
    int count;
};

Now make a simple array of these structures and initialize all counts to 0 and character arrays to the words in the list you posted.

Next, open and read the file one word at a time. fscanf("%s" ...) would be best in this program. For each word read, search the array for it and if found increment the counter.

This sounds like a homework question, I think you need to go through and think what you need to do.
