String split and count the number of occurrences and also

function stringCount(haystack, needle) {
    if (!needle || !haystack) {
        return false;
    }
    else {
        var words = haystack.split(needle),
            count = {};
        for (var i = 0, len = words.length; i < len; i++) {
            if (count.hasOwnProperty(words[i])) {
                count[words[i]] = parseInt(count[words[i]], 10) + 1;
            }
            else {
                count[words[i]] = 1;
            }
        }
        return count;
    }
}

console.log(stringCount("Java$$Java$$jQuery$$Java$$jQuery$$Java$$Java$$Java$$Hibernate$$Java$$Java$$Spring$$Instagram$$jQuery$$jQuery$$", '$$'));
