Help Please, Beginner Question, rewrite loop

Hello, I'm really new to C programming, just started about a week and a half ago.

I worked with Visual Basic 6.0 last year, but i've forgotten alot since then. It appears my previous experience isn't much of a help with the higher languages.

But to the question.

How would I write a loop equivalent to the FOR loop below without using && or ||?

It's from the ANSI C book by Brian Kernighhan, Dennis Ritchie.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

/* easy version, with && and || */

main()
{
int i;
int lim;
int c;
int s[100];

      for (i=0; i<lim-1 && (c=getchar()) != '\n' && c != EOF; ++i)
        s[i] = c;
       
}

---

FYI, I'm pretty much learning on my own entirely (no teacher). I'd like to have a jump start before I hit college. I'm going to work through most of the C book, then move onto a reputable book for C++.

Use while and your code does not work, think about what your using and comparing.

Code:

---

int i = 0
while (i < lim-1)
{
    c = getchar
    if c == '\n' break
    if c == EOF break
    s[i] = c
    i++
}

---

can't just copy and paste this, but here an outline of how it could be done

You also need to initilize lim.
