#/\W+/ is a "regular expression" - a text-searching pattern.
# /\s+/ The slashes start and end the pattern. \W means "any non-alphabetic character"
# and + means "repeated one or more times"

#Example
puts "There are #{words.count} words"
puts "There are #{words.uniq.count} different words" #uniq removes duplicates
