problem with character counting program

Code:

---

//counting no:characters
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
int c;
for(c=0;getchar()!=EOF;c++)
;
printf("%d",c);
}

---

my problem is when i compile it in my gcc compiler(gcc count.c -o count)
the program keeps on taking characters as input. thats all. does nothing. havn't even printing any number........i don't understand whats wrong with this

You need to press CTRL-D (Unix/Linux/MacOS) or CTRL-Z (DOS/Windows) to signal an EOF.
This will cause the loop to exit, and print whatever is in c.

Plus you need to remove the semicolon after your for loop :)

guys thank u very much.im just beginner....these may seem silly to u . :)
