Explanation

In the above program, we created a WordFrequency class that contains two static methods CountWordFrequency() and Main(). The CountWordFrequency() method returns the count of the specified word in the specified string. In the Main() method we created a string variable and took sentence as an input and then find the word occurrence and print on the console screen.
