Thread: Program to print input to output by removing extra balnks :)

Hie everyone.. I am a newbie and learning c programming.. I refered the site and found ansic is the best book) thanks to cprogramming.com.. I am reading it..

Therein the author asked us to write a program to print input to output by removing extra balnks..

I have writen the following code.. No errors! But it does not print anything except for the printf statement... why so?

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    int v,bcount=0;

    printf("Type in the string that you want to edit...\n \n Now!\n");

    while( (v=getchar()) != EOF);
{
    if(v!=' ')
        {
            putchar(v);
            bcount=1;
        }

    else if(v==' ')
       {
           while(bcount==1)
        {
            putchar(v);
            ++bcount;
         }

       }

}
return(7);
}
