<prompt> Kuzalisha algorithm kuhesabu idadi ya maneno katika sentensi fulani.  <response>: Step 1: Define a function named as word_count that takes a single argument, a string representing a sentence.Step 2: Initialize a variable count to 0. This variable will be used to keep track of the number of words in the sentence.Step 3: Use the strip method to remove any leading or trailing white spaces from the sentence.Step 4: Check if the sentence is empty. If the sentence is empty, return 0.Step 5: Use the split method to split the sentence into a list of words. This method splits a string into a list, using the white space as a delimiter.Step 6: Loop through the list of words and increase the count variable by 1 for each word encountered.Step 7: Return the count variable.Heres the Python implementation of the above algorithm:pythondef word_countsentence: count 0 sentence sentence.strip if lensentence 0: return 0 word_list sentence.split for word in word_list: count 1 return count
