<p>This is my code to calculate the word count, total words and the term frequency of a text file containing text. The problem is i need to access the variable wordcount and totalcount outside of the for loop. But changing the place to declare the variable wordcount and totalcount changes the results too making it not accurate. Can someone help me on the variables so that i can get accurate results and also access the variables outside of the for loop ? </p>
