    program from book wont work

    I copyed this program from book and it doesnt work right. I have reveiwed it and it is just like the book, but when I type EOF it gives me the message incorrect letter grade entered. enter a new grade. It gives that message twice and never gives me how many a,b,c,d,f, that were type in. i am pasteing the program, can someone help me out.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    
    
    int main()
    
    {
    
    	int grade;
    	int aCount = 0, bCount = 0, cCount = 0,
    		dCount = 0,fCount = 0; 
    
    	printf ( "Enter the letter grades.\n" );
    	printf ( "Enter the EOF	character to end input.\n" );
    
    	while ( ( grade = getchar() ) != EOF ) {
    
    		switch ( grade ) {
    
    			case 'A': case 'a':
    			++aCount;
    				break;
    
    			case 'B': case 'b':
    			++bCount;
    				break;
    
    			case 'C': case 'c':
    				++cCount;
    				break;
    
    			case 'D': case 'd':
    				++dCount;
    				break;
    
    			case 'F': case 'f':
    				++fCount;
    				break;			
    
    			case '\n': case ' ': 
    				break;
    
    			default:
    				printf ("Incorrect letter grade entered.");
    				printf (" Enter a new grade.\n");
    				break;
    
    		}
    
    	}
    
    	printf ( "\nTotals for each letter grade are:\n");
    	printf ( "A: %d\n", aCount);
    	printf ( "B: %d\n", bCount);
    	printf ( "C: %d\n", cCount);
    	printf ( "D: %d\n", dCount);
    
    		
    	
    
    	return 0;
    
    }

    Just a little note to say when posting code, the last code tag is [/code] and not [\code] like in your post.
