    free(dynamicString);

    return 0;
}

    The program defines a function countWords() that takes a dynamic string as an argument and returns the number of words in the string.

    In the countWords() function, we use a while loop to iterate through the string character by character. We maintain a variable isWord to keep track of whether we are inside a word or not.

    If the current character is not a space (as determined by isspace() from ctype.h), we check if we are starting a new word. If so, we increment the count variable and set isWord to 1.

    If the current character is a space, we set isWord to 0, indicating that we are no longer inside a word.

    The countWords() function returns the final count of words.

    In the main function, the user is prompted to enter a dynamic string using scanf("%m[^\n]", &dynamicString), which dynamically allocates memory for the input string.

    The main function then calls the countWords() function to determine the word count.

    The original string and the word count are displayed using printf().

    Finally, the memory used by the dynamic string is deallocated using free() to avoid memory leaks.
