[Hamlet]

I need some help with this code is is suppose to open a file "jojo" and find out how many words are in it. then out print that however i seem to be importing the file wrong can someone help me fix that?



#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
FILE *fp;
int c;
char b[1000];
int n=0;

fp = fopen("jojo.txt", "r"); // error check this!

// this while-statement assigns into c, and then checks against EOF:

while((c = fgetc(fp)) != EOF)
{
if (c == ' ')
{
n++;
}
}


fclose(fp);
printf("This file has %d words", n);

return 0;
}

Test your file pointer after the open the file line of code, and see if it's address is NULL. If it is NULL, then print an unable to open the file error message, and return. Don't try to keep running the program like normal.

Pretty much what your //comment has to say. Good advice!

Use code tags, please. Like Adak said, you should check if the file exists before continuing the program, and print an error message and return 1 if it doesn't.

The program looks fine to me, but you declared an array that you didn't use.
