Simple programm error

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{ 
    int c, nl;

    nl =0;
    while (( c = getchar()) != EOF )
              if ( c == '\n' )
                  ++nl;
    printf( "%d\n",nl );
}

Okay this programm was taken from K&R book .... after pressing ctrl - z it does not print the number of lines out ??? why i have tried it on 2 compilers Dev-c++ and borland 5.5

Actually, what you stated works fine here.

Looking at the K&R book you forgot to add

Code:

---


return 0;

---

at the end of the main function.

Mr. C.

Looking at the book it does not return 0

No return 0?
No int main?

I just pressed enter a few times, then ctrl+z, then enter.

any function without an explicit type is assumed to return int.

but the no "return 0;" is inexcusable.
