Line 13:
Yes, the problem is stated ambiguously and was probably inspired by some particular language's implementation of a built in function. It would be more appropriate to count all occurrences of a substring. Counting the maximum number of non-overlapping substrings can turn into a very complicated problem requiring backtracking.
: Yes, some languages' bif may treat it as caseless, still others may treat all whitespace equally (as blank or blanks). It would've been interesting to make a case-sensative and a caseless version. The whitespace issue can be more complicated. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 18:33, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
