In the program below I don't know when to stop the loop.
 (CTRL + d ) will just terminate the program, leaving the data via STDIN unattended, 
this is my problem.

Lets define what I want to do:
I want to print the frequency of every word at the beginning. and every word at the 
end of a line.

This could mean two things:
1) one line of text to be read in and on pressing <enter> code below
will analyse the input.
2) a paragraph containing a number of lines get adressed.

I think my code adress 2) but problem with this is that I don't know when my coding 
should jump out of the loop?

Any ideas
