/* This is a program intended to copy its input to its output, replacing
each string of one or more blanks by a single blank.
My question is that how can I terminate the program in VC instead of running
it without stop?*/
#include <stdio.h>
#define NONBLANK 'a'
void main (void)
{
char i=getchar();
int lastc=NONBLANK;
while (i!=EOF){
if (i!=' ')
putchar(i);
if (i==' ')
if (lastc!=' ')
putchar(i);
lastc=i;
}
}
You should build in a statement which causes the loop to stop, in the current situation, the value of i doesn't ever change in the loop. So i will never be equal to EOF.
You should put
i=getchar();
somewhere in the loop.
To kill the process running you could use the task manager, CTRL-ALT-DEL.
EOF is an int, i has been defined as a char. oopsOriginally posted by Shiro
So i will never be equal to EOF.
And don't even start on the void main() bit ! Change it to int main quick before the regulars see it
When you get the code sorted, you'll find EOF can be generated from the keyboard via CTRL+d or CTRL+z depending on your OS, or it's automatically generated if you're reading a file and you get to the end.

When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
The loop for simply copying chars is
ctrl-D or ctrl-Z usually generate the EOFCode:#include <stdio.h> int main ( ) { int ch; while ( (ch=getchar()) != EOF ) { // add your decision code here putchar( ch ); } return 0; }
