Thread: beginner's question

I just started learning C and I ran into one problem.

I am using "The C Programming Language" from Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie as a learning material so I am following the examples in that book.

The problem is with the following programme:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

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

Now, it should give me, as a result, the number of lines in which I typed something. The problem is, when I press Ctrl+C, the programme ends without printing the last line of code.

Exactly the same problem I encountered with character count.

The question is probably stupid, but as I said, I just started.

Any ideas?

P.S. I am using Geany as IDE. I tried compiling it outside of Geany, with

Code:

cc -c line.c
cc -o line line.o

and then running it with

Code:

./line

but no help.

Ctrl+C will end the program. If you want to send EOF, try Ctrl+D (*nix) or Ctrl+Z twice (Windows).

As I said, probably stupid question .

Anyway, thanks a lot. Ctrl-d works just fine..
