+*  Using the JavaScript language, have the function WordCount(str) take the str        *
+*  string parameter being passed and return the number of words the string contains    *
+*  (ie. "Never eat shredded wheat" would return 4). Words will be separated by single  *
+*  spaces.                                                                             *

+*    1) Convert string to an array breaking on space.                                  *
+*    2) Return array length since this is the number of words                          *
