    String program problem

    Hi, I got the following program:

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    #define STRINGSIZE 1OO
    
    void getString(char *string);
    void reverseCase(char *string);
    int numGraph(*string);
    
    
    int main()
    {
       char string[STRINGSIZE];
       int count;
    
       getString(string);
       printf("Entered string => %s");
    
       count = numGraph(string);
       printf("Number of graphic characters in string = %d\n", count);
    
       reverseCase(string);
       printf("Reverse case   => %s);
    
       return 0;
    }
    
    void reverseCase(char *string)
    {
       /* Reverse the case of all alphabetic characters in the string.
          That is, all upper case characters become lower case and
          all lower case become upper case.
       */
    }
    
    int numGraph(*(string))
    {
       /* Calculate the number of printable graphic characters in the
          string.
       */
    
       int count;
    
       while (string != '\0')
       {
          if (isgraph((int) *string)) count++;
       }
       return count;
    }
    
    void getString(char *string)
    {
       printf("Please enter a string to process\n");
       fgets(string, STRINGSIZE, stdin);
    }
    On this line:
    if (isgraph((int) *string)) count++;
    it gives me a "Illegal statement termination" error. Not sure why that is, anyone got any suggestions because I am not sure on what I m doing wrong.

    Thanks

    Maybe prototype numGraph() the same as your other two functions.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <ctype.h>
    
    #define STRINGSIZE 100
    /* What are you doing?  'O' and 0 are not the same thing. */
    
    void getString(char *string);
    void reverseCase(char *string);
    int numGraph(char *string);
    
    
    int main()
    {
       char string[STRINGSIZE];
       int count;
    
       getString(string);
       printf("Entered string => %s\n",string);
    
       count = numGraph(string);
       printf("Number of graphic characters in string = %d\n", count);
    
       reverseCase(string);
       printf("Reverse case   => %s\n",string);
    
       return 0;
    }
    
    void reverseCase(char *string)
    {
       /* Reverse the case of all alphabetic characters in the string.
          That is, all upper case characters become lower case and
          all lower case become upper case.
       */
    }
    
    int numGraph(char *string)
    {
       /* Calculate the number of printable graphic characters in the
          string.
       */
    
    	int i,count;
    
    	for(i = 0,count = 0;string[i] != '\0';i++)
    	{
    		if (isgraph((int)string[i])) count++; 
    	}
    	return count;
    }
    
    void getString(char *string)
    {
       printf("Please enter a string to process\n");
       fgets(string, STRINGSIZE, stdin);
    }
    Didn't bother compiling the entire thing, so I can't say for sure that it works, but it should get you on the right track.
