Subject: [PATCH] fixed the counter method. Need to update the name of the
 method as it may cause confusion. But the Method correctly counts the arrays
 size, doubles it, then uses a for loop to replace the white spaces with %,2,
 then 0. If no white spaces are present, it copies from the original array.
