Problem with the putchar() Function

[rrc55]

I just started learning to program and I can't get past this example because nothing gets printed to my screen.

/* copy input to output, version 1 */

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
	int c;

	c = getchar();
	while (c != EOF);
	{
		putchar(c);
		c = getchar();
	}
}

I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks.

Remove the ; at the end of this line.
Your loop does nothing, except loop forever.

Yes. Your bug is that u put ";" after while... :

	while (c != EOF);
	{
		putchar(c);
		c = getchar();
	}

If you do this the instructions that are between the {} will never get executed.

Wow. Can't believe I missed that. Thank You.
