I'm trying to count the number of blank (" ") spaces from user input using getchar(), then outputting the value using printf. But no output is done after I put in characters into the program. Any suggestions?Code:#include "stdafx.h" #include <cstdio> using namespace System; int main(array<System::String ^> ^args) { int c, nl; nl = 0; while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) if(c == ' ') nl++; printf("The number of blanks is %d\n", nl); return 0; }
One suggestion would be to actually write it in C, not the brain-damage of M$ "managed" C++.
The other is when you're typing away at your console, to actually generate an EOF signal, you press ctrl-z (as the first 'character' on any input line).
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
