It may be worth noting that this is the first time anyone said anything
about how many words are involved, or whether duplicates should be counted
separately. This just goes to show that when one is optimizing code, it helps to
have detailed knowledge of the purpose(s) that code is intended to serve.
So: Counting the duplicates matters, and working with an arbitrary number
of words matters. Anything else? F'rinstance, would it matter if the code
keeps track of which line-numbers the target phrases were found in -- "Phrase X
found 5 times, in lines 1, 2, 5, 67, 68", that sort of thing? Would it matter if
any of the lines you're searching includes more than one instance of a target
phrase?
