Thread: File output is not displaying an acceptable answer

So I have a text file which reads: This line has numbers: 1, 2,3, 4, 55 Some lines include punctuations such as , ; . / & ^

My output is displaying drastic results:

Number of vowels: 0
Number of consonents: 242
Number of digits: 66
Number of white spaces: 32
Number of other characters: 55

Why is it doing this if the code is just reading til the end of the file?

Here's my code:

Code:

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


void output_summary (int space_count, int ch_count, int digit_count, int vowel_count, int sym_count);
int main (void)
{
    char ch;
    int status;
    int space_count = 0, ch_count = 0, digit_count = 0, vowel_count = 0, sym_count = 0;
    
    FILE *infile;
    
    infile=fopen("input.txt", "r");
    if (infile == NULL)
    {
        printf("ERROR COMPUTING FILE\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
    
    
    status = fscanf(infile, "%c", &ch);
    while (status != EOF)
        {
            if (isspace(ch))
            {
                space_count++;
            }
        
            else if (isupper(ch))
            {
                ch = tolower(ch);
                ch_count++;
            }
        
            else if (islower(ch))
            {
                ch_count++;
            }
        
            else if (ch == 'a' || ch == 'e' || ch == 'i' || ch == 'o' || ch == 'u')
            {
                vowel_count++;
            }
        
            else if (isdigit(ch))
            {
                digit_count++;
            }
        
            else
            {
                sym_count++;
            }
        
            status = fscanf(infile, "%c", &ch);
        }
        
    fclose(infile);
    
    output_summary (space_count, ch_count, digit_count, vowel_count, sym_count);
    
    return (0);


}
    
void output_summary (int space_count, int ch_count, int digit_count, int vowel_count, int sym_count)
{
    FILE *outfile;
    
    outfile = fopen("output.txt", "w");
    fprintf(outfile, "Number of vowels: %d\n", vowel_count);
    fprintf(outfile, "Number of consonents: %d\n", ch_count);
    fprintf(outfile, "Number of digits: %d\n", digit_count);
    fprintf(outfile, "Number of white spaces: %d\n", space_count);
    fprintf(outfile, "Number of other characters: %d\n", sym_count);
    
    fclose(outfile);
